Gene Absence Ratios Across Clades in 31 Non-Human Primate Species

A dataset from figshare, last updated on May 11, 2026, quantifying gene absence patterns across primate clades. It was authored by Xiao Liang and focuses on genes present in at least one of 31 non-human primate species, calculating large and small clade absent ratios. The dataset is provided under a CC-BY-4.0 license in a 5.5 KB XLS file.

Use Cases

• Calculate gene absence ratios for large and small primate clades based on the defined metrics.
• Compare patterns of gene loss between different primate taxonomic groups.
• Identify genes that are consistently present or absent across specific evolutionary branches.
• Correlate gene absence patterns with phenotypic or evolutionary traits in primates.

Strengths

• Focuses on a specific, well-defined set of 31 non-human primate species.
• Provides calculated metrics (large and small clade absent ratios) for comparative analysis.
• Uses a clear, open license (CC-BY-4.0) for reuse.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
