{ "description": "<p>ABSTRACT: The Gorilla Genome Project (Scally, 2012) showed that 30% of the gorilla genome introgressed into the ancestor of humans and chimpanzees, and that the two species diverged through lineage sorting with 15% ending up in <em>Pan</em> and another 15% in <em>Homo</em>. That introgression is the <em>Pan</em>-<em>Homo</em> split, hybridization, which led to speciation as the new hybrid lineages became reproductively isolated from one another.<br>\n<br>\nThe NUMT on chromosome 5 (“ps5”) (Popadin, 2017) fits perfectly with the introgression speciation model, it was formed from mtDNA that had diverged from the common ancestor of <em>Pan</em>-<em>Homo</em> for 1.8 Myr at the time of insertion into the nuclear genome, and originated in the <em>Gorilla</em> lineage. The ps5 pseudogene was transferred to <em>Pan</em> and <em>Homo</em> during the introgression event that led to the <em>Pan</em>-<em>Homo</em> split, 6 million years ago.</p>", "license": "https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode", "creator": [ { "affiliation": "Unaffiliated", "@type": "Person", "name": "Nygren, Johan" } ], "headline": "Introgression from Gorilla caused the Human-Chimpanzee split", "image": "https://zenodo.org/static/img/logos/zenodo-gradient-round.svg", "datePublished": "2018-08-21", "url": "https://zenodo.org/record/1403889", "keywords": [ "evolution; human; chimpanzee; gorilla; introgression" ], "@context": "https://schema.org/", "identifier": "https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1403889", "@id": "https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1403889", "@type": "ScholarlyArticle", "name": "Introgression from Gorilla caused the Human-Chimpanzee split" }
