Potentially reduced fusogenicity of syncytin‐2 in New World monkeys [PDF]
FEBS Open Bio, 2023 Syncytin‐2 is a membrane fusion protein involved in placenta development that is derived from the endogenous retrovirus envelope gene acquired in the common ancestral lineage of New World and Old World monkeys (OWMs).

Climatic niche evolution in New World monkeys (Platyrrhini). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Despite considerable interest in recent years on species distribution modeling and phylogenetic niche conservatism, little is known about the way in which climatic niches change over evolutionary time.

The current status of the New World monkey phylogeny [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2000 Four DNA datasets were combined in tandem (6700 bp) and Maximum parsimony and Neighbor-Joining analyses were performed. The results suggest three groups emerging almost at the same time: Atelidae, Pitheciidae and Cebidae.

Chromosome Evolution in New World Monkeys (Platyrrhini) [PDF]
Cytogenetic and Genome Research, 2012 During the last decades, New World monkey (NWM, Platyrrhini, Anthropoideae) comparative cytogenetics has shed light on many fundamental aspects of genome organisation and evolution in this fascinating, but also highly endangered group of neotropical ...

Genetic diversity in oxytocin ligands and receptors in New World monkeys. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Oxytocin (OXT) is an important neurohypophyseal hormone that influences wide spectrum of reproductive and social processes. Eutherian mammals possess a highly conserved sequence of OXT (Cys-Tyr-Ile-Gln-Asn-Cys-Pro-Leu-Gly).

Patterns of MHC-G-Like and MHC-B Diversification in New World Monkeys. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The MHC class I (MHC-I) region in New World monkeys (Platyrrhini) has remained relatively understudied. To evaluate the diversification patterns and transcription behavior of MHC-I in Platyrrhini, we first analyzed public genomic sequences from the MHC-G-

ASPM and the evolution of cerebral cortical size in a community of New World monkeys. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The ASPM (abnormal spindle-like microcephaly associated) gene has been proposed as a major determinant of cerebral cortical size among primates, including humans.

A novel form of oxytocin in New World monkeys. [PDF]
Biol Lett, 2011 Oxytocin is widely believed to be present and structurally identical in all placental mammals. Here, we report that multiple species of New World monkeys possess a novel form of oxytocin, [P8] oxytocin. This mutation arises from a substitution of a leucine to a proline in amino acid position 8. Further analysis of this mutation in
