    Marquès i Bonet, Tomàs, 1975-; Kidd, Jeffrey M.; Ventura, Mario; Graves, Tina A.; Cheng, Ze; Hillier, LeDeana W.; Jiang, Zhaoshi; Baker, Carl; Malfavon-Borja, Ray; Fulton, Lucinda; Alkan, Can; Aksay, Gozde; Girirajan, Santhosh; Siswara, Priscillia; Chen, Lin; Cardone, Maria Francesca; Navarro i Cuartiellas, Arcadi, 1969-; Mardis, Elaine R.; Wilson, Richard K.; Eichler, Evan E. (Nature Publishing Group, 2009)
    It is generally accepted that the extent of phenotypic change between human and great apes is dissonant with the rate of molecular change. Between these two groups, proteins are virtually identical, cytogenetically there ...

(BioMed Central, 2014)
    Background. Domestic cats enjoy an extensive veterinary medical surveillance which has described nearly 250 genetic diseases analogous to human disorders. Feline infectious agents offer powerful natural models of deadly ...
  • Death and resurrection of the human IRGM gene
    Bekpen, Cemalettin; Marquès i Bonet, Tomàs, 1975-; Alkan, Can; Antonacci, Francesca; Leogrande, Maria Bruna; Ventura, Mario; Kidd, Jeffrey M.; Siswara, Priscillia; Howard, Jonathan C.; Eichler, Evan E. (Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2009)
    Immunity-related GTPases (IRG) play an important role in defense against intracellular pathogens. One member of this gene family in humans, IRGM, has been recently implicated as a risk factor for Crohn's disease. We analyzed ...
  • Gorilla genome structural variation reveals evolutionary parallelisms with chimpanzee
    Ventura, Mario; Catacchio, Claudia R.; Alkan, Can; Marquès i Bonet, Tomàs, 1975-; Saijadian, Saba; Graves, Tina A.; Hormozdiari, Fereydoun; Navarro i Cuartiellas, Arcadi, 1969-; Malig, Maika; Baker, Carl; Lee, Choli; Turner, Emily H.; Chen, Lin; Kidd, Jeffrey M.; Archidiacono, Nicoletta; Shendure, Jay; Wilson, Richard K.; Eichler, Evan E. (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press-CSHL Press, 2011)
    Structural variation has played an important role in the evolutionary restructuring of human and great ape genomes. Recent analyses have suggested that the genomes of chimpanzee and human have been particularly enriched ...

    BACKGROUND: The only known albino gorilla, named Snowflake, was a male wild born individual from Equatorial Guinea who lived at the Barcelona Zoo for almost 40 years. He was diagnosed with non-syndromic oculocutaneous ...
