Article Synopsis
- Genetic studies enhance our understanding of behavior and health variations, providing models for human traits, and primate research is particularly valuable due to their close evolutionary links to humans.
- The free-ranging rhesus macaque population on Cayo Santiago, Puerto Rico, offers an exceptional opportunity for genetic research, with over 40 years of continuous study since 1956, including paternity testing and analysis of genetic markers.
- Recent research on the CS macaques has expanded to include functional genetics, behavioral studies, and potential applications for understanding human health issues, while future directions involve advanced techniques like SNP typing and whole genome sequencing.
