Article Synopsis
- Despite the significant diversity of primates in the Amazon, genomic studies on these species are underrepresented, particularly for uakari monkeys.
- This study presents the first comprehensive population-level genomic analysis of eight uakari species, revealing that bald and black uakaris have remained genetically distinct since their separation 0.92 million years ago, with unique genetic traits and variations related to pathogens.
- The research suggests that environmental factors, like hydrology and geographic barriers, have influenced the genetic structure of these uakari populations, contributing to a better understanding of primate genomics in the Amazon rainforest.
SLC22A10 is an orphan transporter with unknown substrates and function. The goal of this study is to elucidate its substrate specificity and functional characteristics. In contrast to orthologs from great apes, human SLC22A10, tagged with green fluorescent protein, is not expressed on the plasma membrane.
