Analysis of lineage-specific subfamilies in the genome of the olive baboon, .

Background: elements are primate-specific retroposons that mobilize using the enzymatic machinery of L1 s. The recently completed baboon genome project found that the mobilization rate of elements is higher than in the genome of any other primate studied thus far. However, the subfamily structure present in and specific to baboons had not been examined yet.

Recently integrated insertions in the squirrel monkey () lineage and application for population analyses.

Background: The evolution of elements has been ongoing in primate lineages and insertion polymorphisms are widely used in phylogenetic and population genetics studies. subfamilies in the squirrel monkey (), a New World Monkey (NWM), were recently reported. Squirrel monkeys are commonly used in biomedical research and often require species identification.
