A propos de l'extension complète des doigts longs et des 4 derniers orteils des primates by J Norbert Kuhlmann

“…Les muscles interosseux, à l'exception de ceux des Hominoïdes, ne sont ni palmaires, ni dorsaux, mais indifférenciés puisqu'ils ne possèdent qu'un seul tendon terminal. La transformation des extenseurs profonds en extenseurs propres de la main accroît chez les Hominoïdes l'autonomie du deuxième et du cinquième doigt. …”

tRNA Modification and Genetic Code Variations in Animal Mitochondria by Kimitsuna Watanabe, Shin-ichi Yokobori

“…In animal mitochondria, six codons have been known as nonuniversal genetic codes, which vary in the course of animal evolution. They are UGA (termination codon in the universal genetic code changes to Trp codon in all animal mitochondria), AUA (Ile to Met in most metazoan mitochondria), AAA (Lys to Asn in echinoderm and some platyhelminth mitochondria), AGA/AGG (Arg to Ser in most invertebrate, Arg to Gly in tunicate, and Arg to termination in vertebrate mitochondria), and UAA (termination to Tyr in a planaria and a nematode mitochondria, but conclusive evidence is lacking in this case). …”
