“…4A). The assumed ancestral karyotype is found conserved in Cebus capucinus and C. apella except for a derived pericentric inversion of the human chromosome 14/15a homolog (Richard et al, 1996;Garcia et al, 2000).…”

“…Shared ancestral traits were discriminated from derived characters by comparison with the proposed ancestral Platyrrhini karyotype and using Cebus as outgroup (Richard et al, 1996;Garcia et al, 2000). The relevant ancestral Platyrrhini chromosome forms informative for Callitrichidae would include homologs to human chromosomes 13, 9, 22, 20, 17, 1a, 10b, 2a and 15b (Table 3, Fig.…”

“…Nevertheless, it has been repeatedly demonstrated that banding analysis is often not informative when rearrangements are complex or translocated chromosomal fragments involved are small. Recently, comparative chromosome maps between human and a number of Platyrrhini species have been established by molecular cytogenetic methods (Consiglière et al, 1996(Consiglière et al, , 1998Richard et al, 1996;Sherlock et al, 1996;Morescalchi et al, 1997;Garcia et al, 2000;Stanyon et al, 2000Stanyon et al, , 2001. These results revealed that many New World monkeys show high rates of chromosomal evolution.…”

Chromosome rearrangements are considered as “rare genomic changes” and can provide useful markers and even landmarks for reconstructing phylogenies complementary to DNA sequence data and bio-morphological comparisons. Here, we applied multi-directional chromosome painting to reconstruct the chromosome phylogeny and evolutionary relationships among the New World monkey (Platyrrhini) species Callithrix argentata, Cebuella pygmaea, Saguinus oedipus, Callithrix jacchus and Callimico goeldii. The results clarified several aspects of New Wold monkey phylogeny. In particular the phylogenetic position of C. goeldii was elucidated, which has been controversially discussed and variously classified in the family Callitrichidae, in the family Cebidae or in its own family Callimiconidae. Comparative genome maps were established by multi-color fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with human, S. oedipus and Lagothrix lagothricha chromosome- specific DNA probes. From these data we reconstructed the putative ancestral karyotype of all Callitrichidae. Various derived chromosomal syntenies are shared by all five species and cytogenetically define Callitrichidae – including Callimico goeldii – as a distinctive group within the Platyrrhini. C. pygmaea and C. argentata share identical chromosomal syntenies from which S. oedipus and C. jacchus differ by single independent translocations. A common derived chromosomal change links Callimico with the marmosets to the exclusion of the tamarins, however, it has further diverged from an ancestral marmoset karyotype by at least four apomorphic rearrangements. Saimiri sciureus, representing the Cebinae, exclusively shares a derived syntenic association with all Callithrichidae, defining the genus Saimiri as a sister group.

“…Altogether, these Callicebus karyotypes (2n = 22, 2n = 20 and 2n = 16) appear to be extremely derived when compared to other Neotropical primates like Cebus apella [Garcia et al, 2000] or Callithrix jacchus [Neusser et al, 2001], a finding pointing to a high rate of chromosome shuffling in Callicebus.…”

The Lowest Diploid Number (2n = 16) yet Found in Any Primate: Callicebus lugens (Humboldt, 1811)

Morphologic, molecular and karyologic analyses of Callicebus lugens (Humboldt, 1811) of known geographic origin supported the proposition that this is a valid species. Morphologic and morphometric analyses showed evident differences between C. lugens and two other related taxa of the same group (Callicebus purinus and Callicebus torquatus). Cytochrome b DNA analyses (maximum parsimony, neighbour joining and maximum likelihood) were congruent in showing a strong association between C. lugens and Callicebus sp. of the torquatus group in one branch and a sister branch further divided into two clades: one with species of the personatus group and another, with species of the moloch group. Karyotypic analysis showed that C. lugens has the lowest diploid chromosome number of the primate order (2n = 16). Comparisons with other congeneric species clearly supported the proposition that C. lugens is karyotypically similar to others of the torquatus group.

“…They may have conserved almost completely the ancestral karyotype for all New World primates. C. capucinus and C. apella obviously share an identical karyotype, while C. nigrivittatus has one derived fused chromosome (Richard et al, 1996;Garcia et al, 2000Garcia et al, , 2002.…”

Fluorescence in situ hybridization to chromosomes as a tool to understand human and primate genome evolution

For the last 15 years molecular cytogenetic techniques have been extensively used to study primate evolution. Molecular probes were helpful to distinguish mammalian chromosomes and chromosome segments on the basis of their DNA content rather than solely on morphological features such as banding patterns. Various landmark rearrangements have been identified for most of the nodes in primate phylogeny while chromosome banding still provides helpful reference maps. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) techniques were used with probes of different complexity including chromosome painting probes, probes derived from chromosome sub-regions and in the size of a single gene. Since more recently, in silico techniques have been applied to trace down evolutionarily derived chromosome rearrangements by searching the human and mouse genome sequence databases. More detailed breakpoint analyses of chromosome rearrangements that occurred during higher primate evolution also gave some insights into the molecular changes in chromosome rearrangements that occurred in evolution. Hardly any “fusion genes” as known from chromosome rearrangements in cancer cells or dramatic “position effects” of genes transferred to new sites in primate genomes have been reported yet. Most breakpoint regions have been identified within gene poor areas rich in repetitive elements and/or low copy repeats (segmental duplications). The progress in various molecular and molecular-cytogenetic approaches including the recently launched chimpanzee genome project suggests that these new tools will have a significant impact on the further understanding of human genome evolution.
