Assigning lineage-specific and shared duplications in primates. We applied DupMasker (standard default settings) to the macaque genome (RheMac2) and readily identified shared and lineage-specific duplications by comparing the results with duplication maps of the Rhesus Macaque Genome (Gibbs et al. 2007). We found that 84% (121.0/143.3 Mb) of duplications in the human genome are human-lineage specific. There are 22.3 Mb of duplications shared between human and macaque, and 24.3% (24.3/46.4 Mb) of duplications defined in the macaque genome that are macaque-lineage specific.
