A monkey and a virus: One million years together

An international research team including Vasily Ramensky, a bioinformatics scientist at MIPT’s Genome Engineering Laboratory, has classified the six species of African green monkeys based on their genomes, studied their genetic adaptations to the simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV), and produced a gene expression atlas for one of the species. The results of the study were published in two articles in Nature Genetics.
