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 …

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

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

The genus Aotus represents a highly diverse group with an especially intricate taxonomy.
No standard cytogenetic nomenclature for the genus has yet been established. So far …

For the last 15 years molecular cytogenetic techniques have been extensively used to study
primate evolution. Molecular probes were helpful to distinguish mammalian chromosomes …

Platyrrhini are a group of Neotropical primates living in central and south America, and have
been extensively studied through morphological and molecular data in order to shed light on …

Cytogenetic studies have shown that New World primates are karyologically diverse and
highly derived. The genus Callicebus is the best example of this karyological diversity, with …

The classification of neotropical primates has been controversial. Different arrangements
have been proposed, depending on taxonomic criteria and on the traits selected for …

We developed chromosome painting probes for Callicebus pallescens from flow-sorted
chromosomes and used multidirectional chromosome painting to investigate the genomic …

For many years whole chromosome painting probes have been the work-horses in a large
variety of clinical and research molecular cytogenetic applications. In recent years painting …
