Abstract excerpt
The involucrin gene of platyrrhines and hominoids contains a segment of 10-codon repeats which were added vectorially at the same site in the coding region. We have now cloned and sequenced the involucrin gene of four cercopithecoid monkeys--two macaques (mulatta and fascicularis) and two Cercopi...
