  • Analysis of five gene sets in chimpanzees suggests decoupling between the action of selection on protein-coding and on noncoding elements
    Santpere Baró, Gabriel, 1981-; Carnero-Montoro, Elena, 1985-; Petit, Natalia; Serra, François; Hvilsom, Christina; Rambla de Argila, Jordi; Heredia Genestar, José María, 1985-; Halligan, Daniel L.; Dopazo, Hernán; Navarro i Cuartiellas, Arcadi, 1969-; Bosch Fusté, Elena (Oxford University Press, 2015)
    We set out to investigate potential differences and similarities between the selective forces acting upon the coding and noncoding regions of five different sets of genes defined according to functional and evolutionary ...
  • Demographic history of the genus Pan inferred from whole mitochondrial genome reconstructions
    Lobon Garcia, Irene; Tucci, Serena; de Manuel, Marc; Ghirotto, Silvia; Benazzo, Andrea; Prado Martínez, Javier, 1987-; Lorente-Galdós, Belén, 1981-; Nam, Kiwoong; Dabad, Marc; Hernández Rodríguez, Jéssica, 1983-; Comas, David, 1969-; Navarro i Cuartiellas, Arcadi, 1969-; Schierup, Mikkel H.; Andrés Morán, Aida, 1976-; Barbujani, Guido; Hvilsom, Christina; Marquès i Bonet, Tomàs, 1975- (Oxford University Press, 2016)
    The genus Pan is the closest genus to our own and it includes two species, Pan paniscus (bonobos) and Pan troglodytes (chimpanzees). The later is constituted by four subspecies, all highly endangered. The study of the Pan ...
  • Dynamics of DNA methylation in recent human and great ape evolution
    Hernando Herráez, Irene, 1985-; Prado Martínez, Javier, 1987-; Garg, Paras; Fernández Callejo, Marcos; Heyn, Holger; Hvilsom, Christina; Navarro i Cuartiellas, Arcadi, 1969-; Esteller, Manel; Sharp, Andrew J.; Marquès i Bonet, Tomàs, 1975- (Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2013)
    DNA methylation is an epigenetic modification involved in regulatory processes such as cell differentiation during development, X-chromosome inactivation, genomic imprinting and susceptibility to complex disease. However, ...
  • Functional implications of human-specific changes in great ape microRNAs
    Gallego Jiménez, Alicia, 1985-; Melé Messeguer, Marta, 1982-; Balcells, Ingrid; García Ramallo, Eva; Torruella Loran, Ignasi, 1987-; Fernández Bellon, Hugo; Abelló, Teresa; Kondova, Ivanela; Bontrop, Ronald E.; Hvilsom, Christina; Navarro i Cuartiellas, Arcadi, 1969-; Marquès i Bonet, Tomàs, 1975-; Espinosa Parrilla, Yolanda, 1971- (Public Library of Science, 2016)
    microRNAs are crucial post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression involved in a wide range of biological processes. Although microRNAs are highly conserved among species, the functional implications of existing ...
  • MHC class I diversity in chimpanzees and bonobos
    Maibach, Vincent; Hans, Jörg B.; Hvilsom, Christina; Marquès i Bonet, Tomàs, 1975-; Vigilant, Linda (Springer, 2017)
    Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I genes are critically involved in the defense against intracellular pathogens. MHC diversity comparisons among samples of closely related taxa may reveal traces of past or ...
  • The genetic impact of an Ebola outbreak on a wild gorilla population
    Fontseré Alemany, Clàudia, 1992-; Frandsen, Peter; Hernández Rodríguez, Jéssica, 1983-; Niemann, Jonas; Scharff-Olsen, Camilla Hjorth; Vallet, Dominique; Le Gouar, Pascaline; Ménard, Nelly; Navarro i Cuartiellas, Arcadi, 1969-; Siegismund, Hans R.; Hvilsom, Christina; Gilbert, M Thomas; Kuhlwilm, Martin; Hughes, David; Marquès i Bonet, Tomàs, 1975- (BioMed Central, 2021)
    Background: Numerous Ebola virus outbreaks have occurred in Equatorial Africa over the past decades. Besides human fatalities, gorillas and chimpanzees have also succumbed to the fatal virus. The 2004 outbreak at the ...
