Elevated Rate of Fixation of Endogenous Retroviral Elements in Haplorhini TRIM5 and TRIM22 Genomic Sequences: Impact on Transcriptional Regulation [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 All genes in the TRIM6/TRIM34/TRIM5/TRIM22 locus are type I interferon inducible, with TRIM5 and TRIM22 possessing antiviral properties. Evolutionary studies involving the TRIM6/34/5/22 locus have predominantly focused on the coding sequence of the genes,

Posture-Transformed Monkey Phantoms Developed from a Visible Monkey
Applied Sciences (Switzerland), 2021 A monkey phantom is of significant value for electromagnetic radiation (EMR) dosimetry simulations. Furthermore, phantoms in various postures are needed because living beings are exposed to EMR in various postures during their daily routine.

Life history of the most complete fossil primate skeleton: exploring growth models forDarwinius [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2015 Darwinius is an adapoid primate from the Eocene of Germany, and its only known specimen represents the most complete fossil primate ever found. Its describers hypothesized a close relationship to Anthropoidea, and using a Saimiri model estimated its age ...

New middle Eocene omomyines (Primates, Haplorhini) from San Diego County, California
Journal of Human Evolution, 2018 The Friars Formation of San Diego County, California, has yielded a middle Eocene mammalian fauna from the early part of the Uintan North American Land Mammal Age. Prior research on the primate fauna from the Friars Formation provides evidence of one notharctine and multiple omomyine species, but many specimens collected since the early 1980s remain ...

Evolution of substrate specificity in the Nucleobase-Ascorbate Transporter (NAT) protein family [PDF]
Microbial Cell, 2018 L-ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is an essential metabolite in animals and plants due to its role as an enzyme co-factor and antioxidant activity. In most eukaryotic organisms, L-ascorbate is biosynthesized enzymatically, but in several major groups ...

Environment shapes sleep patterns in a wild nocturnal primate [PDF]
, 2019 Among primates, the suborder Haplorhini is considered to have evolved a consolidated monophasic sleep pattern, with diurnal species requiring a shorter sleep duration than nocturnal species.
