Abstract excerpt
The immune system mediates the complex interaction between pathogenic microorganisms and their hosts. Despite its significance, the evolutionary mechanisms underlying immune system complexity in primates remain largely elusive. In this study, we investigated the evolution of the primate immune system by generating the first comprehensive catalog of immune-related genes through extensive phylogenomic sampling. Our...
