Harvesting the fruits of the first stage of the Primate Genome Project.

Primates are highly successful mammals with significant morphological, behavioral, and physiological diversity.Studying the genomes of non-human primates, as the closest relative of humans, can provide insights into human evolution,genetic structure, and potential drug targets relevant to human health, thus making important contributions to medical research. Additionally, primate genome research can support ecological balance and resource conservation and promote sustainable development and human well-being.
