Genomic signatures of extreme body size divergence in baboons

2019-03-16

Abstract excerpt

Kinda and gray-footed chacma baboons occupy opposite extremes of the body size distribution in extant baboons (genus Papio ). In order to detect signatures of natural selection in these two species, we genotyped 24,790 genome-wide autosomal SNPs from populations of Zambian baboons using double digest RADseq. We scanned the genome for evidence of selection by identifying regions with extreme differentiation betwee...
