The use of high resolution banding in comparative cytogenetics: comparison between man and Lagothrix lagotricha (Cebidae)
Abstract
New techniques for obtaining high resolution banding are used in comparative cytogenetics. They make possible a direct comparison of the chromosomes of two distantly related primates, man and Lagothrix lagotricha (Platyrrhine). For many chromosomes, the homoeologies of banding are surprisingly clear. These new results strongly strengthen the interpretations proposed with the use of more conventional banding techniques.
