Primate-Specific Gene Distribution Among 31 Non-Human Primates and 4 Non-Primate Species

A 5.5 KB Excel file contains data on gene distribution among 31 non-human primates and 4 non-primate species. It defines a primate-specific ratio based on counts of genes identified in all primates, subsets of primates, and absent from non-primates. The dataset was authored by Xiao Liang and last updated on May 11, 2026.

Use Cases

• Calculate the primate-specific ratio based on the defined gene counts J, K, and L.
• Compare gene presence/absence patterns across the 31 non-human primate species.
• Identify genes potentially unique to primates by analyzing those absent from the 4 non-primate species.

Strengths

• Data covers a specific comparison across 31 non-human primates and 4 non-primate species.
• The dataset defines a clear metric (primate-specific ratio) for analysis.

Limitations

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