With the accomplishment of genome sequencing of human, chimpanzee and other primates, there has been a great amount of primate genome information accumulated. Primate comparative genomics has become a new research field at current genome era. In this article, we reviewed recent progress in phylogeny, genome structure and gene expression of human and nonhuman primates, and we elaborated the major biological differences among human, chimpanzee and other non-human primate species, which is informative in revealing the mechanism of human evolution.
随着人类、黑猩猩和其他灵长类动物基因组测序工作的完成,积累了大量的灵长类动物基因组信息。灵长类比较基因组学已成为当前基因组时代的一个新研究领域。在本文中,我们综述了人类和非人类灵长类动物在系统发育、基因组结构和基因表达方面的最新进展,并阐述了人类、黑猩猩和其他非人类灵长类物种之间的主要生物学差异,这对于揭示人类进化机制具有重要意义。
