Sequence diversity analyses of an improved rhesus macaque genome enhance its biomedical utility

A high-quality rhesus macaque genome Genome technology has improved substantially since the first full organismal genomes were generated. Applying new technology, Warren et al. refined the genome of the rhesus macaque, a model nonhuman primate. Long-read technology and other recent advances in sequencing technology were applied to generate a genome with far fewer gaps and helped to refine the locations and numbers of repetitive elements....
