Shared evolutionary processes shape landscapes of genomic variation in the great apes
Shared evolutionary processes shape landscapes of genomic variation in the great apes is a scholarly work, published in 2024 in ''Genetics''. The main subjects of the publication include evolutionary biology, human evolutionary genetics, mutation rate, genome, selection (genetic algorithm), ocular adaptation, lineage, population genetics, polyploidy, balancing selection, evolutionary dynamics, genetic variation, population, divergence, RNA sequencing, genetics, coalescent theory, Variation (astronomy), Genome evolution, and biology. The authors find strong correlations between landscapes of diversity and divergence in a well-sampled set of great ape genomes, and explore how various processes such as incomplete lineage sorting, mutation rate variation, GC-biased gene conversion and selection contribute to these correlations.
