Population Genetics of Rhinopithecus bieti :a Study of the Mitochondrial Control Region
基于线粒体控制区的滇金丝猴群体遗传学研究

Yunnan snub-nose monkey(Rhinopithecus bieti)is a famous endangered primate in China.So far,however,studies on its population genetics based on DNA sequences are not available.In this paper,the whole mitochondria control region of the samples from Weixi,Yunan Province as well as the whole cytochrome b gene in some individuals were sequenced.A deep divergence was observed within the Weixi population,which was confirmed after excluding the possibility of existence a nuclear pseudogene.Nonetheless,if the effects of population structure and migration are considered,the true level of polymorphism of the Weixi population may be not as high as observed.
