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.

The Evolution of Primate Litter Size

Humans
Litter size plays an essential role in mammalian evolution and is one of the most important factors determining whether an organism is deemed to have a ‘slow’ or ‘fast’ life history strategy.

A new primate assemblage from La Verrerie de Roches (Middle Eocene, Switzerland) [PDF]

, 2017
Primates reached a great abundance and diversity during the Eocene, favored by warm temperatures and by the development of dense forests throughout the Northern Hemisphere.

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 ...

Exploring the Innate Immunological Response of an Alternative Nonhuman Primate Model of Infectious Disease; the Common Marmoset

Journal of Immunology Research, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
The common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) is increasingly being utilised as a nonhuman primate model for human disease, ranging from autoimmune to infectious disease. In order to fully exploit these models, meaningful comparison to the human host response is necessary.

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

Risk posed by the HPAI virus H5N1, Eurasian lineage goose/Guangdong clade 2.3.4.4b. genotype B3.13, currently circulating in the US [PDF]

EFSA J
Abstract The emergence of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H5N1), clade 2.3.4.4b, genotype B3.13 in U.S. dairy cattle marks a significant shift in the virus' host range and epidemiological profile. Infected cattle typically exhibit mild clinical signs, such as reduced milk production, mastitis and fever, with morbidity generally below 20% and

Penanda Genetik Tarsius (Tarsius Spp.) Dengan Menggunakan Gen Cytochrome Oxidase I (COI) DNA Mitokondria (MtDNA) Melalui Metode Sekuensing [PDF]

, 2015
Tarsier (Tarsius spp.) are the smallest primates in the world. Currently there are 10 species, of which 9 species are distributed in Indonesia and 8 species of them are endemic to Sulawesi. Morphologically the Sulawesi spesies are almost similar.

Preliminary Assessment on Primate Diversity and Potential of PrimaTourism Among Local People and Orang Asli Jakun (Aborigines: Proto-Malay) in Tasik Chini Biosphere Reserve, Pahang, Malaysia [PDF]

, 2023
PrimaTourism is a well-known aspect of nature tourism that provides valuable benefits for the primate species conservation. Malaysia, with its rich diversity of more than 25 primate species inhabited in the country, holds significant potential for ...
