Abstract excerpt
Gene diversity was used to estimate genetic heterogeneity in the founders of five specific pathogen-free (SPF) colonies of rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) and ranged from about 0.20 to 0.32. In the founders of three groups at the California Regional Primate Research Center (CRPRC) that have been minimally managed to maintain genetic heterogeneity, gene diversity was about 0.30, approximately the value for that...
