Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Rhesus macaques play a valuable role in biomedical research, and their genetic characterization is critical for effective colony management. Levels of genetic diversity, genomic admixture, and genetic substructure can all impact the suitability of macaques for biomedical research. The Southwest National Primate Research Center (SNPRC) houses one of the largest rhesus macaque colonies in the United...
