The northern greater galago (Otolemur garnettii), also known as Garnett's greater galago, is a prosimian primate endemic to Africa.
A low-coverage genomic sequence of the northern greater galago, was completed in 2006. As a 'primitive' primate, the sequence is particularly useful in bridging the sequences of higher primates (macaque, chimp, human) to close non-primates such as rodents. The current 2x coverage is not sufficient to create a full genome assembly, but will provide comparative data across most of the human assembly.
