	The Hidden Life of Macaques
		This act, introduced by an innovative macaque, was adopted by others in the troop until it became the cultural norm-unique to this particular macaque troop.
		A young female rhesus monkey stays with her mother and sisters for life to integrate into "one of the tightest and most complicated social systems known in the animal kingdom," according to Frans de Waal.
		Some are great swimmers-a troop of Japanese macaques in the Nagano Mountains, in another example of unique culture, took the cue of a troop member and began a tradition of bathing in the hot springs to find relief from the frigid winters.

		First, because the rhesus is the most commonly used nonhuman primate in biomedical research, this tool should be useful to a larger number of investigators studying an even broader range of diseases.
		The sequencing of the rhesus genome was conducted at the Baylor College of Medicine Human Genome Sequencing Center in Houston, the Genome Sequencing Center at Washington University in St. Louis and the J. Craig Venter Institute, Rockville, Md., which are part of the NHGRI-supported Large-Scale Sequencing Research Network.

		The full sequence of cloned rhesus FasL cDNA was obtained to confirm function and authenticity, based on comparison to the published sequences from the human and mouse.
		Our findings indicate that 1) the rhesus FasL is highly homologous to the human but not the mouse (97% for human, 85 % for mouse), and that 2) soluble rhesus FasL is capable of inducing apoptosis (where the human protein is active and the mouse protein is inactive).
		In vitro transcription/translation of rhesus FasL cDNA yielded a 32 KD protein, while transfection of COS cells with the full-length cDNA yielded a 40 KD protein, which is in agreement with the size of human FasL.

	Researchers assemble second non-human primate genome - From The Laboratories at Baylor College of Medicine
		Richard A. Gibbs, Ph.D. The recently announced genome of the rhesus macaque – one of the most commonly studied primates in biomedical research – may help define what it is that is unique in humans, said the director of the Baylor College of Medicine Human Genome Sequencing Center.
		A multicenter team has deposited the draft genome sequence of the rhesus macaque monkey into free public databases for use by the worldwide research community, the National Human Genome Research Institute, one of the National Institutes of Health, announced recently.
		Sequencing the genome of an animal such as the macaque may mean that there is less need to study the organism itself in the laboratory now that scientists can study its gene, which has been deposited in an open database on the Web, said Gibbs.

		The release was produced by the Macaque Genome Sequencing Consortium, led by the Baylor College of Human Medicine, melding three separate complementary assemblies (created using the Atlas, Celera and PCAP systems).
		The species-specific resources for macaque are relatively limited, so we decided to take a combined approach utilizing macaque's great similarity to human to aid our annotation efforts.
		Both macaque and human cDNAs were used to add UTR structures, and finally gene predictions based on Uniprot proteins and human cdnas were used to fill gaps in the annotation.
