Population Genetics of the Washington National Primate Research Center’s (WaNPRC) Captive Pigtailed Macaque (Macaca nemestrina) Population
Pigtailed macaques (Macaca nemestrina) provide an important model for biomedical research on human disease and for studying the evolution of primate behavior. The genetic structure of captive populations of pigtailed macaques is not as well described as that of captive rhesus (M. mulatta) or cynomolgus (M. fascicularis) macaques. The Washington National Primate Research Center houses […]
