In 1992 the Japanese macaque was the first species for which the homology of the entire
karyotype was established by cross-species chromosome painting. Today, there are …

The gross organization of the genome of Eutheria (placental mammals) into chromosomes
follows a simple architecture that, with some minor changes, is almost completely conserved …

Abstract Background Gymnotus (Gymnotidae, Gymnotiformes) is the Neotropical electric fish
genus with the largest geographic distribution and the largest number of species, 33 of …

During the last decades, New World monkey (NWM, Platyrrhini, Anthropoideae) comparative
cytogenetics has shed light on many fundamental aspects of genome organisation and …

In light of the multiple sex chromosome systems observed in howler monkeys (Alouatta

We explored the topology of 18S and 28S rDNA units by fluorescence in situ hybridization
(FISH) in the karyotypes of thirteen species representatives from major groups of Primates …

Background Chromosomal painting, using whole chromosome probes from humans and
Saguinus oedipus, was used to establish karyotypic divergence among species of the genus …

Platyrrhini are a group of Neotropical primates living in central and south America, and have

The history of each human chromosome can be studied through comparative cytogenetic
approaches in mammals which permit the identification of human chromosomal homologies …

Background The taxonomic and phylogenetic relationships of New World monkeys
(Platyrrhini) are difficult to distinguish on the basis of morphology and because diagnostic …
