Ubiquitous impact of natural selection on nucleotide diversity in 178 species of primates.

Genome biology - 1 May 2026

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Genetic diversity shows great variation across the genome. To investigate the major evolutionary forces causing this variation in primates, we analyse genomic diversity in 178 species in coordinates of the human genome reference to enable direct comparisons. RESULTS: Across species, we find that genetic diversity decreases with declining recombination rates, with an average difference of 40% between...
