Molecular studies of Callithrix pygmaea (Primates, Platyrrhini) based on transferrin intronic and ND1 regions: implications for taxonomy and conservation [PDF]
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2000 Traditional classifications of Platyrrhini monkeys, based mainly on morphological features, are being contested by recent molecular data. The subfamily Callitrichinae (Platyrrhini, Primates) consists of a diverse group of species, many of them considered

Identification and characterization of ERV-W-like sequences in Platyrrhini species provides new insights into the evolutionary history of ERV-W in primates [PDF]
Mobile DNA, 2020 Background Endogenous Retroviruses (ERVs) constitute approximately 8% of every human genome and are relics of ancestral infections that affected the germ line cells.

Origen y evolución de los Platyrrhini (Primates, Anthropoidea), con especial referencia a los registros de Argentina [PDF]
Estudios Geologicos, 1998 Las recientes evidencias sobre el origen del suborden Anthropoidea proceden principalmente del Viejo Mundo, en especial de Africa y Asia, y podría afirmarse que dicho suborden constituye un grupo monofilético que incluye a catarrinos y platirrinos ...

Endocranial shape variation and allometry in Euarchontoglires [PDF]
Scientific ReportsWhile brain size in primates and their relatives within Euarchontoglires is well-studied, less research has examined brain shape, or the allometric trajectories that underlie the relationship between size and shape.

WHAT DO NEOTROPICAL PRIMATES TELL US UNDER THE LOOK OF CYTOGENETICS? [PDF]
BAG. Journal of Basic and Applied Genetics, 2022 Cytogenetics studies in Neotropical Primates (Primates: Platyrrhini) have shown that these mammals comprise a heterogeneous group at the chromosomal level.

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-

Sperm Morphology in Neotropical Primates
Animals, 2019 The morphological and morphometric characterization of spermatozoa has been used as a taxonomic and phylogenetic tool for different species of mammals. We evaluated and compared the sperm morphometry of five neotropical primate species: Alouatta caraya ...

The origin of the RB1 imprint. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The human RB1 gene is imprinted due to a differentially methylated CpG island in intron 2. This CpG island is part of PPP1R26P1, a truncated retrocopy of PPP1R26, and serves as a promoter for an alternative RB1 transcript.

Phylogenetic studies of the genus
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2008 Background Chromosomal painting, using whole chromosome probes from humans and Saguinus oedipus, was used to establish karyotypic divergence among species of the genus Cebus, including C. olivaceus, C. albifrons, C. apella robustus and C.
