Studies of the squirel monkey, Saimiri sciureus, genome. II. C-band characterization and DNA replication patterns.
Cytological analysis of a squirrel monkey indicates a considerable degree of chromosomal polymorphism. DNA synthetic patterns reveal late synthesis in chromosomal segments that are C-band negative and asynchrony in DNA replication between homologs. Location of a satellite DNA with a CsCl neutral buoyant density of 4.691 g/ml was mainly in the noncentromeric constitutive heterochromatin.
