Figure 1

Diagramatic representation of the DupA/B region in primates. Accepted phylogenetic relationship is shown on the right [44, 45]. Monkeys have a single copy of DupB that duplicated in the great ape ancestor. Gibbons and chimpanzees have alleles which have undergone a secondary loss of DupB. Orangutans have undergone a gene conversion event between DupA and DupB.
