Figure 1

This diagram presents the evolutionary relationships among species for which genome sequences are published, available or in progress. The genomes for species enclosed in boxes are already published. Among the macaques, the rhesus and cynomolgus macaque genomes are published2, 91, but sequencing of other macaque genomes is underway. Selected lineages are highlighted to indicate specific genomic features of interest, or unexpected genomic traits, such as reduced rate of Alu insertion in the orangutan genome13 or the lower evolutionary rate in the aye-aye9.
