Phylogenetic studies of the genus Cebus(Cebidae-Primates) using chromosome painting and G-banding

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Chromosomal painting, using whole chromosome probes from humans and Saguinus oedipus, was used to establish karyotypic divergence among species of the genus Cebus, including C. olivaceus, C. albifrons, C. apella robustus and C. apella paraguayanus. Cytogenetic studies suggested that the species of this genus have conservative karyotypes, with diploid numbers ranging from 2n = 52 to 2n = 54. RESULTS:...
