A complete genome for the common marmoset monkey

The common marmoset is a key primate model for studying human disease, yet until now much of its genome has remained unexplored. The complete assembly of all genetic sequences reveals centromere organization, a ribosomal DNA-driven mechanism of interchromosome recombination, and over 500 previously unknown marmoset-specific genes, contributing to a better understanding of primate genome evolution.
