“…Ag-NOR (not shown) stains in the secondary constriction located at the proximal region of the long arm of two pairs of acrocentric autosomes (22 and 23), similarly to those described for C. nigrivittatus, C. capuccinus, and C. apella [Dutrillaux et al, 1978;Freitas & Seuánez, 1982;Garcia et al, 1983] but also in the short arm of pair 11. This is in accordance with Garcia et al [1983] who also found, in Cebus apella, the presence of NOR in other chromosomes, besides pairs 22 and 23.…”

Cytogenetic and cytotaxonomic studies (G, C, sequential G/C, and NOR banding) were performed on 110 specimens representing the four genera of South American primates of the family Callitrichidae: Cebuella (C. pygmaea), Callithrix, groups argentata (C. argentata, C. emiliae, C. chrysoleuca, C. humeralifera, C. mauesi), and jacchus (C. aurita, C. geoffroyi, C. jacchus, C. kuhli, C. penicillata), Leontopithecus (L. chrysomelas, L. rosalia), and Saguinus (S. midas midas, S. m. niger). Mitotic chromosomes are characterized, and the rearrangements distinguishing the karyotypes of the taxa are inferred from arm homologies. The results were then converted into numerical data and submitted to cladistic analysis. The following conclusions were achieved: 1) Five karyotypic classes were observed, which correspond to the five taxa studied. Differences between them are as follows: a) Cebuella (2n = 44, 10 acrocentrics, A + 32 bi‐armed autosomes, bi) and the argentata group (2n = 44, 10A + 32bi) are different from each other due to a reciprocal translocation; b) both can be distinguished from the jacchus group (2n = 46, 14A + 30bi) by a centric fusion/fission rearrangement and a paracentric inversion; c) Leontopithecus (2n = 46, 14A + 30bi) and Saguinus (2n = 46, 14A + 30bi) differ from the jacchus group by a reciprocal translocation and three paracentric inversions; and d) Saguinus is different from the others by one paracentric inversion and pericentric inversions in at least four pairs of acrocentric autosomes. 2) The cladistic analysis separates Cebus (used as an outgroup) from the Callitrichidae groups, which forms a clade. Among the Callitrichidae, marmosets (Cebuella and Callithrix) form a sub‐clade, Cebuella and the argentata group being more closely related to each other than both are to the jacchus group. Tamarins (Leontopithecus and Saguinus) are also quite close, so that if one was not derived from the other, they with the marmosets share a common ancestor. Among the tamarins, Leontopithecus is karyotypically closest to the marmosets, specifically to the jacchus group. 3) Based on the chromosome information and considering the possible direction of the evolutionary changes (primitivity or phyletic dwarfism hypothesis, previously advanced by other authors), it was possible to propose the ancestral karyotypes and to develop two alternatives for the origin, differentiation and dispersion of the callitrichid. Both proposals are plausible, but when the geographical distribution is considered, the phyletic dwarfism hypothesis seems to be the most probable. Am. J.

“…(c) Pair number 4 with a paracentric inversion in one chromosome observed in a female C. nigrivittatus. the constitutive heterochromatin regions, as has previously been described in the species of the same genus: C. apella (Seuá nez et al, 1986;Freitas and Seuá nez, 1982;Matayoshi et al, 1987;Ponsà et al, 1995;García et al, 2003) and C. capucinus (Dutrillaux et al, 1978;Garcia et al, 1983;Carlà and Stanyon, 1992). In C. apella, previous reports have detected size variation of non-centromeric heterochromatin regions in chromosomes 4, 6, 11, 12, 17, 18 and 19 (Matayoshi et al, 1987;Ponsà et al, 1995).…”

“…In the C. apella karyotype, C+ bands were not observed in 1p, 2p, 3p, 8, 16 and 24 chromosomes, whereas the C+ band described in C. apella chromosome 6 (Matayoshi et al, 1987;Ponsà et al, 1995) was not detected in the homologous C. nigrivittatus chromosome. The presence of the terminal C+ band in chromosomes 1, 2 and 3 has been also detected in C. capucinus (Garcia et al, 1983). On the other hand, all locations of C+ bands found in C. nigrivittatus are shared by, at least, two different Cebus species, except the interstitial C+ band in the q arm of pair No.8 (this chromosome is acrocentric in C. nigrivittatus and submetacentric in C. apella and C. capucinus, and both forms are related by a pericentric inversion), the terminal C+ band in the p arm of the fusioned 12/24 chromosome and the interstitial No.16 chromosome heterochromatic band.…”

“…In this context, some primate species have been widely analysed, but in other published studies are scarce, as is the case of Cebus genus (Family Cebidae, Primates). In this group, C. apella (CAP) and C. capucinus (CCA) have been widely studied (Dutrillaux et al, 1978;Garcia et al, 1983;Matayoshi et al, 1987;Mudry, 1990;Ponsà et al, 1995;García et al, 2000García et al, , 2003, whereas no data on heterochromatin polymorphisms have been published for C. nigrivittatus or Cebus albifrons.…”

-Cytogenetic studies have been performed in six specimens of Cebus nigrivittatus with G-, and C-banding methods. Centromeric C+ bands have been detected in each chromosome pair, terminal C+ bands in chromosome pairs 1, 2, 3, 12/24 and 11, whereas interstitial C+ bands have been observed in chromosome pairs 4, 12/24, 8, 13, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 and 21. The C-banding patterns show a degree of polymorphism as well as the presence of interstitial and terminal C-bands. A different morphology affecting the long arm of chromosome 4 due to a paracentric inversion is also reported.

“…There are particular exceptions to this claim, such as CT 13 in all the species included, and CT 17 in human cells only. The human CT 13 case may be explained by the fact that it carries NORregions and its positioning may be conditioned by other NOR-chromosomes, but this explanation is not valid for the other species that have no NOR regions in chromosome 13 homologs (Garcia et al 1983(Garcia et al , 1995 and our data on these cell lines (images not shown)). Interestingly, the gene-density influence on CT positioning observed in three out of four CTs in the three primate species agrees with the hypothesis of a more internal position of gene-dense chromosomes, although the chromosome-size influence is more widely observed (4/4 CTs in LLA and SSC, and 3/4 CTs in HSA).…”

Chromosome territory positioning of conserved homologous chromosomes in different primate species

Interphase chromosomes form distinct spatial domains called chromosome territories (CTs). The position of CTs is known not to be at random and is related to chromosome size and gene density. To elucidate how CTs are arranged in primate proliferating fibroblasts and whether the radial position of CTs has been conserved during primate evolution, several specific CTs corresponding to conserved chromosomes since the Simiiformes (human 6, 12, 13, and 17 homologous CTs) have been studied in 3D preserved interphase nuclei from proliferant cells of two New World monkey species (Lagothrix lagothricha, Saimiri sciureus) and in human by three-dimensional fluorescent in situ hybridization (3D-FISH). Our results indicate that both gene-density and chromosome size influence chromosome territory arrangement in the nucleus. This influence is greater for chromosome-size than for gene-density in the three species studied. A comparison of the radial position of a given CT and its homolog in the species analyzed suggests similar CT distributions for homologous chromosomes. Our statistical analysis using the logit model shows that such homologous positionings cannot, however, be considered identical.
