	genome.gov \| 2007 Release: Analysis of Rhesus Monkey Genome Uncovers Genetic Differences With Humans, Chimps
		The rhesus genome is the second non-human primate, after the chimp, to have its genome sequenced and is the first of the Old World monkeys to have its DNA deciphered.
		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 School of Medicine in St. Louis and the J. Craig Venter Institute in Rockville, Md., which are part of the NHGRI-supported Large-Scale Sequencing Research Network.
		In addition to comparing the rhesus with the chimp and human genomes, the group also studied genetic variation in macaque populations, and developed a set of "single nucleotide polymorphisms" or SNPs (single base DNA differences) that can be used for future analysis of inheritance of biomedically important traits in rhesus.

	Rhesus Monkey - MSN Encarta
		Rhesus Monkey, macaque found throughout India and Nepal, eastern Afghanistan, and northeastern China and Indochina, and held sacred by the Hindus.
		Because they are physiologically similar to humans, rhesus monkeys have been used as research animals to an extent that has greatly reduced their population; India now bars their exportation.
		The monkeys have been used extensively in research on human blood chemistry, and the Rh factor in blood derives its name from them.

	ADW: Macaca mulatta: Information
		The disproportionately large testicles of male rhesus monkeys, and the increase in size of their testicles during the breeding season, is probably related to the number of times a male can copulate over a short period of time.
		For example, rhesus that live in the mountain forests of northern Pakistan feed primarily on clovers during the summer, but during winter when snow covers the ground they are forced to switch to foods with lower nutritional values and higher fiber contents, such as pine needles and oak leaves.
		The common name, rhesus monkey, is responsible for the naming of the hereditary blood antigen Rh-factor that was discovered on their red blood cells in 1940.

	Rhesus Monkey
		Rhesus monkeys adapt well to a wide range of habitats, from the hot, dry temperatures of the desert to colder, winter temperatures.
		Rhesus monkeys live in groups of 10 to 200, formed of closely related females and a few unrelated males.
		Rhesus monkeys are held sacred in many parts of India, and large groups of them live near Buddhist or Hindu temples, where monks treat them with affection.

	Monkey's escape may sink biodefense lab
		The escape of a small gray and tan monkey from a UC Davis medical research center may threaten a proposed high-security lab on campus to study deadly infectious organisms such as anthrax and smallpox that could be used as terrorist weapons.
		The 4-pound rhesus macaque monkey vanished two weeks ago as her cage was being cleaned at the California National Primate Research Center, where she was used for breeding purposes and was "disease free," according to the university.
		The research center currently supplies monkeys to other UC campuses for Level 2 and 3 research such as cancer, asthma and AIDS, and it is one of eight centers nationwide supported by the NIH to conduct medical research.

	The Myth of the Aggressive Monkey
		Gisler, Benson, and Young (1960) warned that "the rhesus monkey is extremely nervous and energetic and is difficult to house.
		The myth of the aggressive rhesus macaque probably is based on unsuccessful attempts at socializing individually caged animals and on the relatively frequent occurrence of scratch and bite wounds inflicted on personnel during enforced handling procedures (Zakaria, Lerche, Chomel, and Kass, 1996).
		Training rhesus macaques to cooperate during procedures makes these defense reactions superfluous because the trainer has developed and fostered a relationship based on trust rather than fear, and the animal is partially in control rather than coerced during the interaction with the handler (Reinhardt, 1991).

	Rhesus Monkey ANDi at OHSU
		Schatten attributes the miscarriage to the fact that Rhesus twins are rare, but the team is investigating whether it might be related to the inserted gene.
		Schatten predicts that "genetically altered monkeys could be a boon to developmental biologists as well." Because monkeys are large enough to fit into magnetic resonance imaging machines, researchers might be able to introduce gene markers and track organ development by noninvasive means.
		Transgenic rhesus monkeys carrying the green fluorescent protein (GFP) gene were produced by injecting pseudotyped replication-defective retroviral vector into the perivitelline space of 224 mature rhesus oocytes, later fertilized by intracytoplasmic sperm injection.
