Mating system and avpr1a promoter variation in primates.

Biology letters - 23 Aug 2008

Rosso Lia, Keller Laurent, Kaessmann Henrik, Hammond Robert L

Abstract excerpt

It has been suggested that primate mating and social behaviours may be influenced by variation in promoter region repetitive DNA of the vasopressin receptor 1a gene (avpr1a). We show that male mating behaviour does not covary in a simple way with promoter repetitive DNA in 12 Old World primates. We found that one microsatellite (-553 bp upstream) was present in all species, irrespective of their behaviour. By...
