Welcome to the Primate Genome-phenome Archive

The Primate Genome-phenome Archive (PGA) is a comprehensive repository of 263 complex traits across 224 primate species, each with a predicted genetic background inferred through comparative methods. These predictions draw on convergent amino acid substitution analyses (Barteri et al., 2023) and relative evolutionary rates (RER) estimations (Kowalczyk et al., 2019), providing valuable insights into the molecular underpinnings of primate trait evolution. The findings presented here originate from the work of Valenzuela et al. (2025), which highlights significant patterns of convergence and divergence among diverse primate lineages. The database is openly accessible on GitHub in a standardized format, allowing for programmatic data retrieval and integration. Comprehensive documentation, including a detailed changelog, is available on the GitHub repository.

      About the PGA

      The Primate Genome-phenome Archive (PGA) is the result of a collaborative effort between the research groups of Arcadi Navarro (Institut de Biologia Evolutiva, Universitat Pompeu Fabra – IBE-UPF, Barcelona, Spain), David Juan (Centro Nacional de Biotecnología – CNB-CSIC, Madrid, Spain), and Gerard Muntané (Institut d'Investigació Sanitària Pere Virgili – IISPV, Tarragona, Spain). This resource represents one of the main contributions of the doctoral thesis of Alejandro Valenzuela (IBE-UPF), who is also the first author of the scientific publication associated with the PGA. The website and the organization of the dataset were developed by Fabio Barteri, co-first author of the publication and currently affiliated with the Natural Science Museum of Barcelona and the Institut de Biologia Evolutiva.
