Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Copy number variations (CNVs) are a significant source of genetic diversity and commonly found in mammalian genomes. We have generated a genome-wide CNV map for Cynomolgus monkeys (Macaca fascicularis). This crab-eating macaque is the closest animal model to humans that is used in biomedical research. RESULTS: We show that Cynomolgus monkey CNVs are in general much smaller in size than gene loci and...
