Cytogenetic and fertility studies of a rheboon, rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta) � baboon (Papio hamadryas) cross: further support for a single karyotype nomenclature

Abstract excerpt

Historically, two different numbering systems have been used to describe the baboon and macaque karyotypes. However, G-banding studies and, more recently, fluorescence in situ hybridization results have shown that the two karyotypes are virtually identical. To confirm this hypothesis, cytogenetic analysis of an unusual animal, a rheboon, was undertaken. The rheboon reported here, an 18-year-old male, is the only...
