The Center of Study and Research in Wild Animals Prof MA Giannoni, established at FCAVJ, is conducting research projects in mammals and birds. Partial results of cytogenetic analysis of some of these projects are presented below.The metaphases were obtained as described by Moorhead et al (1960), and chromosome G-, C-and NOR (nucleolar organizer region)-banding patterns were prepared according to Seabright (1971), Sumner (1972) and Howell and Black (1980), respectively.
Cytogenetic analysis of Agouti pacaThis is a subproject of the 'Biology, behavior and adaptation to captivity of the Agouti paca species'. The species has great potential to be explored in animal production, but studies with a conservational viewpoint on repopulation and genetic improvement are needed. The purpose of this investigation was to contribute to
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
