Genome Information for Nomascus leucogenys
Except for chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans, gibbons are the closest phylogenetic relatives of humans.
More...Except for chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans, gibbons are the closest phylogenetic relatives of humans. Compared to these other hominoid primates, the gibbon genome is unique in having undergone many interchromosomal rearrangements. The gibbon genome sequencing project will identify these rearrangements by BAC-end sequencing and should provide important knowledge about the processes that have shaped hominoid evolution and speciation. Gibbons have recently been reclassified into genera by their diploid chromosome number; the genus
Nomascus having 52 diploid chromosomes. The white-cheeked gibbon,
Nomascus leucogenys, was formerly classified as a subspecies of the crested gibbon
Nomascus concolor. All gibbons are currently listed as endangered.
