Twenty-five well-justified fossil calibrations for primate divergences

, 2023
Phylogenies with estimates of divergence times are essential for investigating many evolutionary questions. In principle, “tip-dating” is arguably the most appropriate approach, with fossil and extant taxa analysed together in a single analysis, and ...

Identification of Alternative Variants and Insertion of the Novel Polymorphic AluYl17 in TSEN54 Gene during Primate Evolution

International Journal of Genomics, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016
TSEN54 encodes a subunit of the tRNA‐splicing endonuclease complex, which catalyzes the identification and cleavage of introns from precursor tRNAs. Previously, we identified an AluSx‐derived alternative transcript in TSEN54 of cynomolgus monkey. Reverse transcription‐polymerase chain reaction (RT‐PCR) amplification and TSEN54 sequence analysis of ...

Adaptive Evolution Coupled with Retrotransposon Exaptation Allowed for the Generation of a Human‐Protein‐Specific Coding Gene That Promotes Cancer Cell Proliferation and Metastasis in Both Haematological Malignancies and Solid Tumours: The Extraordinary Case of MYEOV Gene

Scientifica, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
The incidence of cancer in human is high as compared to chimpanzee. However previous analysis has documented that numerous human cancer‐related genes are highly conserved in chimpanzee. Till date whether human genome includes species‐specific cancer‐related genes that could potentially contribute to a higher cancer susceptibility remains obscure.

ELFN1-AS1: A Novel Primate Gene with Possible MicroRNA Function Expressed Predominantly in Human Tumors

BioMed Research International, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
Human gene LOC100505644 uncharacterized LOC100505644 [Homo sapiens] (Entrez Gene ID 100505644) is abundantly expressed in tumors but weakly expressed in few normal tissues. Till now the function of this gene remains unknown. Here we identified the chromosomal borders of the transcribed region and the major splice form of the LOC100505644‐specific ...

Placental Evolution within the Supraordinal Clades of Eutheria with the Perspective of Alternative Animal Models for Human Placentation

Advances in Biology, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
Here a survey of placental evolution is conducted. Placentation is a key factor for the evolution of placental mammals that had evolved an astonishing diversity. As a temporary organ that does not allow easy access, it is still not well understood. The lack of data also is a restriction for better understanding of placental development, structure, and ...

Variation in Pubic Symphysis Fusion Across Primates: Implications for Obstetric Adaptation

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 186, Issue 2, February 2025.
Variation in the fusion of the pubic symphysis in primate pelves. ABSTRACT Objectives The unfused human pubic symphysis has been interpreted as an obstetric adaptation to facilitate the passage of a large‐brained baby through a relatively small, bipedally adapted pelvis.

Costs and benefits of solitary living in mammals

Journal of Zoology, Volume 323, Issue 1, Page 9-18, May 2024.
Seven main factors that influence the social organization of a species. + indicates which condition favours solitary living, − which favours group living. Combined, these factors influence whether solitary or group living leads to a net benefit for females. In mammals, social organization is mainly determined by how females distribute themselves, while

Ascorbic acid functions as an antioxidant and facilitates other biochemical processes such as collagen triple helix formation, and iron uptake by cells. Animals which endogenously produce ascorbic acid have a functional gulonolactone oxidase gene (GULO);
