Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: As in other model organisms, genetic background in the non-human primates Macaca mulatta and Macaca fascicularis is an experimental variable that affects the response of other study variables. Genetic background in model organisms is manipulated by breeding schemes but is generally pre-determined by the source population used to found captive stocks. In M. fascicularis three such sources have been...
