Nuclear genome sequences from extinct (Megaladapis edwardsi) and modern (Lepilemur mustelinus and Eulemur rufifrons) lemurs
We use an integrated ancient DNA and genomic approach to study the evolution of a recently extinct, giant 'subfossil' lemur from Madagascar, Megaladapis edwardsi. We generated new nuclear genomic data from the extinct lemur and two modern lemur species, for phylogenetic and comparative evolutionary genomic analyses.
