The Ancestral Genomes in Primate Phylogeny and Origins: A Molecular Cytogenetic Perspective

  • Chapter
Anthropoid Origins

Abstract

Over the last decade molecular techniques have become powerful tools in cytogenetics, and it is now generally accepted that cytogenetic reconstructions of phylogeny should be based on molecular techniques. Banding has often led to incorrect assignments of homology or comparisons of only highly conserved chromosomes. In particular, new syntenic associations have often gone undetected by banding (Stanyon et al., 2000).
