Genome sequence of the basal haplorrhine primate Tarsius syrichta reveals unusual insertions

Tarsiers occupy a key node between strepsirrhines and anthropoids in the primate phylogeny. Here, Warren and colleagues present the genome of Tarsius syrichta, including a survey of transposable elements, an unusual mitochondrial insertion, and evidence for positive gene selection.
