TI  - Molecular cytotaxonomy of New World monkeys (Platyrrhini) - comparative analysis 
      of five species by multi-color chromosome painting gives evidence for a 
      classification of Callimico goeldii within the family of Callitrichidae.
PG  - 206-15
AB  - 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.
