Inferring the Relative Contributions of Evolutionary Processes Shaping X Chromosome Dynamics in the Common Marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) in the Presence of Twinning and Hematopoietic Chimerism.

Abstract excerpt

The common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) is a biomedically important species that is characterized by two unusual biological traits-a high frequency of twin births and hematopoietic chimerism-that preclude the application of many commonly used population genomic approaches for quantifying evolutionary processes. In this study, we directly account for both factors in order to estimate fine-scale mutation and...
