  • A high-quality, long-read genome assembly of the endangered ring-tailed lemur (Lemur catta)
    Palmada Flores, Marc; Orkin, Joseph D.; Haase, Bettina; Mountcastle, Jacquelyn; Bertelsen, Mads F.; Fedrigo, Olivier; Kuderna, Lukas, 1989-; Jarvis, Erich D.; Marquès i Bonet, Tomàs, 1975- (Oxford University Press, 2022)
    Background: The ring-tailed lemur (Lemur catta) is a charismatic strepsirrhine primate endemic to Madagascar. These lemurs are of particular interest, given their status as a flagship species and widespread publicity in ...
  • Duplication and parallel evolution of the pancreatic ribonuclease gene (RNASE1) in folivorous non-colobine primates, the howler monkeys (Alouatta spp.)
    Janiak, Mareike C.; Burrell, Andrew S.; Orkin, Joseph D.; Disotell, Todd R. (Nature Research, 2019)
    In foregut-fermenting mammals (e.g., colobine monkeys, artiodactyl ruminants) the enzymes pancreatic ribonuclease (RNASE1) and lysozyme C (LYZ), originally involved in immune defense, have evolved new digestive functions. ...
  • Fermentation and the ethnobiology of microbial entanglement
    Flachs, Andrew; Orkin, Joseph D. (Society of Ethnobiology, 2019)
    Fermentation preserves and transforms foods through autochthonous or introduced microorganisms. Fermentation is of special interest to ethnobiologists because it relies on place‐ and practice‐based knowledge, local flora ...
  • Past connectivity but recent inbreeding in cross river gorillas determined using whole genomes from single hairs
    Alvarez-Estape, Marina; Pawar, Harvinder; Fontseré Alemany, Clàudia, 1992-; Trujillo, Amber E.; Gunson, Jessica L.; Bergl, Richard A.; Bermejo, Magdalena; Linder, Joshua M.; McFarland, Kelley; Oates, John F.; Sunderland-Groves, Jacqueline L.; Orkin, Joseph D.; Higham, James P.; Viaud-Martinez, Karine A.; Lizano González, Esther, 1974-; Marquès i Bonet, Tomàs, 1975- (MDPI, 2023)
    The critically endangered western gorillas (Gorilla gorilla) are divided into two subspecies: the western lowland (G. g. gorilla) and the Cross River (G. g. diehli) gorilla. Given the difficulty in sampling wild great ape ...
  • The diversity of primates: from biomedicine to conservation genomics
    Orkin, Joseph D.; Kuderna, Lukas, 1989-; Marquès i Bonet, Tomàs, 1975- (Annual Reviews Inc, 2021)
    Until now, the field of primate genomics has focused on two major themes: understanding human evolution and advancing biomedical research. We propose that it is now time for a third theme to receive attention: conservation ...
  • The genomics of ecological flexibility, large brains, and long lives in capuchin monkeys revealed with fecalFACS
    Orkin, Joseph D.; Manuel Montero, Marc de, 1991-; Campo, Javier del; Fontseré Alemany, Clàudia, 1992-; Kuderna, Lukas, 1989-; Lizano González, Esther, 1974-; Marquès i Bonet, Tomàs, 1975-; Melin, Amanda D. (National Academy of Sciences, 2021)
    Ecological flexibility, extended lifespans, and large brains have long intrigued evolutionary biologists, and comparative genomics offers an efficient and effective tool for generating new insights into the evolution of ...
  • Variation in predicted COVID-19 risk among lemurs and lorises
    Melin, Amanda D.; Orkin, Joseph D.; Valenzuela, Alejandro; Gut, Ivo Glynne; Gut, Marta; Lizano González, Esther, 1974-; Marquès i Bonet, Tomàs, 1975-; Navarro i Cuartiellas, Arcadi, 1969-; Juan, David; Higham, James P. (Wiley, 2021)
    The novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, which in humans leads to the disease COVID-19, has caused global disruption and more than 2 million fatalities since it first emerged in late 2019. As we write, infection rates are at their ...
