“…Here, we show that all apes, including chimpanzees, bonobos, gorillas, and orangutans, and all African and Asian monkeys (catarrhines), exhibit the same set of twelve key amino acid residues as human ACE2. …”

“…Here we analyzed DNA methylation profiles of 2400 tissues derived from 37 primate species including 11 haplorhine species (baboons, marmosets, vervets, rhesus macaque, chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutan, humans) and 26 strepsirrhine species (suborders Lemuriformes and Lorisiformes). …”

“…BACKGROUND: Human outbreaks of Ebola virus (EBOV) are a serious human health concern in Central Africa. Great apes (gorillas/chimpanzees) are an important source of EBOV transmission to humans due to increased hunting of wildlife including the ‘bush-meat’ trade. …”

“…The functional EPO-like epitope was found to be present in the matrix protein of HIV-1 ancestors SIV originated in chimpanzees (SIVcpz) and gorillas (SIVgor) but not in that of HIV-2 and its ancestor SIVsmm from sooty mangabeys. …”

“…Our results are strongly at odds with a major role of the modern human AHR in the evolution of hominin detoxification of smoke components and consistent with our previous study based on 18 relevant genes in addition to AHR, which concluded that efficient detoxification alleles are more dominant in ancient hominins, chimpanzees, and gorillas than in modern humans.…”

“…We investigated in silico the secondary structure of the region encompassing DIS, SD and Psi hairpins in HIV-1 genomes of rare groups N, O and P, HIV-2 genomes and SIV genomes from chimpanzees, gorillas and monkeys. We found that the structure of this region in SIVcpzptt genomes of the 1st and the 2nd clusters is similar to that in HIV-1 genomes of groups M and N, respectively. …”

“…We estimate that there are currently 884 (437–1,789) elephants and 11,097 (8,719–13,592) chimpanzees and gorillas remaining in Río Muni. The results indicate strong hunting pressures on both local and commercial levels, with roads demonstrating a negative impact on elephants and overall mammal body mass. …”

“…By analyzing the nucleotide variation and the haplotypes in these regions, we found that only four inversions have linked tag-SNPs and that in many cases there are multiple shared SNPs between standard and inverted chromosomes, suggesting an unexpected high degree of inversion recurrence during human evolution. iPCR was also used to check 16 of these inversions in four chimpanzees and two gorillas, and 10 showed both orientations either within or between species, providing additional support for their multiple origin. …”

“…The genes with the highest percentage of branch-specific substitutions are ADCYAP1 in the human lineage (9.7%), CALU in chimpanzees (7.1%), SLC39A14 in the internal branch leading to humans and chimpanzees (4.1%), RNF128 in gorillas (9%), and S100Z in gibbons (15.2%). The mutational pattern in ADCYAP1 suggests a biased mutation process, possibly through asymmetric gene conversion effects. …”

“…Based on the sequences of 2504 individuals from the 1000 Genomes Project, the active form of the 11p15.4 site was found to be polymorphic within the human population, with an allele frequency of 51%, whereas the activating mutation in the 3q12.3 provirus was fixed in humans but not present in the orthologous provirus in chimpanzees or gorillas. CONCLUSIONS: These data suggest that stage-specific transcription factors at least partly contribute to LTR promoter activity during transformation and that, in some cases, transcription factor binding site polymorphisms may be responsible for the differential HML-2 expression often seen between individuals. …”

“…However, the work presented here represents the first attempt to train a bear to indicate her relative preferences using something like a Likert scale commonly used with humans to indicate their preferences and could be a valuable welfare tool for animals in human care. Similar work with gorillas suggests that bears are as capable as great apes in learning such tasks and would also benefit from this type of technical enrichment. …”

“…A subset of indels from coding regions was experimentally validated and their impacts were predicted based on direct sequencing in several human populations as well as chimpanzees, bonobos, gorillas, and two subspecies of orangutans. CONCLUSION: Our analysis demonstrates that while indels are distributed essentially randomly in intergenic and intronic genomic regions, they are significantly under-represented in coding sequences. …”
