Functional genomics research is continually improving our understanding of genotype-phenotype relationships in humans, and comparative genomics perspectives can provide additional insight into the evolutionary histories of such relationships. To specifically identify conservation or species-specific divergence in humans, we must look to our closest extant evolutionary relatives. Primate functional genomics research has been steadily advancing and expanding, in spite of several limitations and challenges that this field faces. New technologies and cheaper sequencing provide a unique opportunity to enhance and expand primate comparative studies, and we outline possible paths going forward. The potential human-specific insights that can be gained from primate functional genomics research are substantial, and we propose that now is a prime time to expand such endeavors.
