However, few studies have analyzed the chemical profile of a scent and ascertained the messages that are conveyed in scent secretions.

متن کاملMolecular evidence of Y-autosomal translocations in owl monkeys.
Probe pDP1007, which contains highly conserved DNA sequences from the sex-determining region of the human Y chromosome, cross-hybridized with owl monkey EcoRI restriction fragments of 1.8 kb and 6.6 kb. Southern transfer analysis of owl monkey (karyotype VI)--rodent somatic cell hybrids localized the 1.8-kb fragment on the owl monkey X chromosome and the 6.6-kb fragment, which is male specific,...
