Paternity Testing in Captive Japanese Macaques (Macaca fuscata) using DNA Fingerprinting
The effect of male tenure and female mate choice on paternity in free‐ranging Japanese macaques
In this study, the paternity of all the infants born in 2002 and 2003 in a free‐ranging Japanese macaque ( Macaca fuscata ) group at Arashiyama in Kyoto, Japan, was analyzed in relation to males' age, dominance rank, and tenure and females' mate choice. The fathers of 20 out of 23 infants were determined by DNA analyses. Central adult (high‐ranking) males sired two infants, whereas peripheral adult (low‐ranking) males sired 14 infants. Young male…
Relatedness in wild chimpanzees
In chimpanzees ( Pan troglodytes ), high‐ranking males are expected to have high reproductive success and females typically emigrate upon reaching maturity. Although high average relatedness among males in the same social groups has been assumed, previous reports have indicated that relatedness among males is not necessarily significantly higher than that among females. The paternity of 11 offspring and the relatedness of 50 individuals in the M …

Female long‐tailed macaques with scrotum‐like structure
Female long‐tailed macaques ( Macaca fascicularis ) living in multimale and multifemale societies show a swelling and reddening of the sexual skin around the anogenital region when they approach ovulation. These swellings are limited to the base of the tail in many local populations. We recently observed another type of sexual swelling in long‐tailed macaques inhabiting localities north of the Isthmus of Kra, Thailand. This swelling was located i…

DNA-PCR-typing on Non-Human Primates
Human beings and non human primates show similarities in the non coding DNA range too, but up to now there are only a few data. This paper presents first results of a study dealing with a larger spectrum of species and individuals, considering the genetic marker HLA-DQA1, LDLR, GYPA, HBGG, D7S8, GC (partionally coding) and VWA, FES, F13B, TH01, CD4, FGA (not coding). The results show that not only the apes can be typed but also Macaca sylvanus as…

Urine as another potential source for template DNA in polymerase chain reaction (PCR)
This technical note examines the potential for preparing template DNA in polymerase chain reactions (PCR) from urine in Japanese macaques (Macaca fuscata). Microsatellite band patterns from urine samples showed close agreement with those of blood and fecal samples, and only a few hundred microl of urine yielded a template DNA for PCR. This research will increase the opportunity for scientists to examine the genetic backgrounds of their target ani…

A High Sequence Variety in the Immunoglobulin C.ALPHA. Hinge Region among Old World Monkeys
Immunoglobulin Cα gene encodes a constant region of heavy-chain of IgA antibody, and the hinge region is located between CH1 domain and CH2 domain. The hinge region functions to increase efficiency of antigen binding by varying distance between two antigen recognition sites. The constant region of IgA has been considered to be conservative, but we previously reported that immunoglobulin Cα genes of great apes showed evolutionary hypervariability …

Hypervariable microsatellite loci in the Japanese macaque (Macaca fuscata) conserved in related species
We describe seven polymorphic microsatellites isolated from a Japanese macaque (Macaca fuscata) genomic library selected for (GT)n content. The primer sets amplified from four to 11 different alleles in a sample of 14 Japanese macaques from nine different sites along the central and southern distribution of the species. These heterologous primers also detected variability in four other cercopithecine species.

Studies on the Electrophoretic Variation of Soluble GlutamicOxaloacetic Transaminase (s-GOT) in Non-Human Primates
The electrophoretic variation of soluble glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (s-GOT) in red cells of 26 species of non-human primates including one hybrid species and those in liver homogenates of 9 Macaca species were investigated. It was demonstrated that red cell GOT is present widely in the non-human primates so far examined and the strength of the zymograms were nearly equal. The intraspecific variation of s-GOT was confirmed in Macaca cyclopi…

A comparison of TSPY genes from Y-chromosomal DNA of the great apes and humans
The genes for testis-specific protein Y (TSPY) were sequenced from chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes), gorilla (Gorilla gorilla), orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus), and baboon (Papio hamadryas). The sequences were compared with each other and with the published human sequence. Substitutions were detected at 144 of the 755 nucleotide positions compared. In overviewing five sequences, one deletion in human, four successive nucleotide insertions in orangutan, an…
