The genus Macaca is widely distributed, occupies a variety of habitats, shows diverse phenotypic characteristics, and is one of the best-studied genera of nonhuman primates. Here, we reported five re-sequencing Macaca genomes, including one M. cyclopis, one M. fuscata, one M. thibetana, one M. silenus, and one M. sylvanus. Together with published genomes of other macaque species, we combined 20 genome sequences of 10 macaque species to investigate the gene introgression and genetic differences among the species...
