Integrated analysis of the complete sequence of a macaque genome

Nature, Published online: 26 February 2025; doi:10.1038/s41586-025-08596-wA complete genome assembly of a crab-eating macaque, revealing 46% fewer segmental duplications and 3.83 times longer centromeres than those of humans, is presented, enhancing understanding of lineage-specific phenotypes, adaptation and primate evolution.
