Evolutionary breakpoints in the gibbon suggest association between cytosine methylation and karyotype evolution.

Evolutionary breakpoints in the gibbon suggest association between cytosine methylation and karyotype evolution.

Gibbon species have accumulated an unusually high number of chromosomal changes since diverging from the common hominoid ancestor 15-18 million years ago. The cause of this increased rate of chromosomal rearrangements is not known, nor is it known if genome architecture has a role. To address this q...
