I’ve covered copy number variations in the past, and the post I put up this morning is kinda along the same lines as the following paper I will introduce. But, in a nutshell, this one is a comparison of copy number variation or CNVs in primate genomes.
CNV is a term used in genomic studies to [...]

Finding parallel genetic variation of ACE activity in baboons and humans
Yann has found some interesting papers in the last day or so. One paper he stumbled upon researches the heritable variation of Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) in humans and baboons. It is titled, Parallel effects of genetic variation in ACE activity in baboons and humans.” ACE is a homeostatic regulator protein, and like other physiological [...]
