The common marmoset genome provides insight into primate biology and evolution
We report the whole-genome sequence of the common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus). The 2.26-Gb genome of a female marmoset was assembled using Sanger read data (6×) and a whole-genome shotgun strategy. A first analysis has permitted comparison with the genomes of apes and Old World monkeys and the identification of specific features that might contribute to the unique biology of this diminutive primate, including genetic changes that may influence body size, frequent twinning and chimerism. We observed positive selection in growth hormone/insulin-like growth factor genes (growth pathways), respiratory complex I genes (metabolic pathways), and genes encoding immunobiological factors and proteases (reproductive and immunity pathways). In addition, both protein-coding and microRNA genes related to reproduction exhibited evidence of rapid sequence evolution. This genome sequence for a New World monkey enables increased power for comparative analyses among available primate genomes and facilitates biomedical research application.The marmoset genome project was funded by the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), including from grants U54 HG003273 (R.A. Gibbs) and U54 HG003079 (R.K.W.), with additional support from the US National Institutes of Health (NIH), including from grants R01 DK077639 (S.D.T.), R01 GM59290 (L.B.J. and M.A.B.), HG002385 (E.E.E.) and P51-OD011133 (Southwest NPRC), and support from the National Science Foundation (NSF BCS-071508 to D.E.W.) and the VEGA grant agency: 1/0719/14 (T.V.) and 1/1085/12 (B.B.).
