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.

A family case of fertile human 45,X,psu dic(15;Y) males [PDF]
, 2006 We report on a familial case including four male probands from three generations with a 45,X,psu dic(15;Y)(p11.2;q12) karyotype. 45,X is usually associated with a female phenotype and only rarely with maleness, due to translocation of small Y chromosomal

The evolution and biological correlates of hand preferences in anthropoid primates
eLife, 2022 The evolution of human right-handedness has been intensively debated for decades. Manual lateralization patterns in non-human primates have the potential to elucidate evolutionary determinants of human handedness, but restricted species samples and ...

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.

Taxonomic review of Saguinus mystax (Spix, 1823) (Primates, Callitrichidae), and description of a new species [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Although the Amazon has the greatest diversity of primates, there are still taxonomic uncertainties for many taxa, such as the species of the Saguinus mystax group.

Apocrine glands in the eyelid of primates contribute to the ocular host defense [PDF]
, 2004 Apocrine glands of Moll are regular components of primate eyelids. We studied the distribution and localization of these glands in three different primate species, the common marmoset, the rhesus monkey, and the hamadryas baboon.

BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Background Callitrichids comprise a diverse group of platyrrhine monkeys that are present across South and Central America. Their secondarily evolved small size and pointed claws allow them to cling to vertical trunks of a large diameter.

The Evolution of Primate Short-Term Memory [PDF]
Animal Behavior and Cognition, 2022 Short-term memory is implicated in a range of cognitive abilities and is critical for understanding primate cognitive evolution. To investigate the effects of phylogeny, ecology and sociality on short-term memory, we tested the largest and most diverse ...

Chewing on the trees: Constraintsand adaptation in the evolution of the primate mandible [PDF]
, 2015 Chewing on different food types is a demanding biological function. The classic assumption in studying the shape of feeding apparatuses is that animals are what they eat, meaning that adaptation to different food items accounts for most of their ...

Molecular Phylogenetics of Aotus (Platyrrhini, Cebidae)
International Journal of Primatology, 2011 The accurate identification of taxa of Aotus is essential for 1) the development of precise biomedical assays, 2) the determination of potential illegal traffic of this genus, and 3) conservation. Although many studies have contributed to what we know about the phylogenetics of Aotus, none used a sufficiently large number of samples to clarify its ...
