Abstract excerpt
This study analyzed the genetic composition of 3382 genetically characterized and pedigreed animals currently maintained under 3 different housing configurations at the California National Primate Research Center, including the indoor colony, outdoor 'corn cribs,' and half-acre field cages. Summary statistics based on 15 short tandem repeats strongly suggest significant effects of genetic drift, including the...
