Abstract: Abstract: With human-comparable genome sequence and the advantages as model animal， rhesus macaque poses a unique model in molecular and translational study of human diseases. Despite these unique advantages， several unresolved issues have limited the current use of the model--inadequate functional genomics annotations， errorprone gene models， and lack of a platform for visualizing and assessing high-throughput data. With the development of the deep sequencing technology， some of these key issues have been addressed these years. Here we summarized the monkey genomics and molecular evolution studies we performed in the deep sequencing era.
