I have made available the alignments used for 2 of my publications:

1. Page, S.L., and Goodman, M. Catarrhine Phylogeny: Noncoding DNA Evidence for a Diphyletic Origin of the Mangabeys and for a Human-Chimp Clade. Mol Phylogenet Evol. (in press)

and

2. Page, S.L., Chiu, C-H., and Goodman, M. Molecular phylogeny of Old World monkeys (Cercopithecidae) as inferred from gamma-globin DNA sequences. Mol Phylogenet Evol. 1999 Nov;13(2):348-59.

In addition, gamma1-gamma2 data for many Primate species (and a few non-Primates) is available. This data has been used in part or in toto for several papers. Specific information is available from me or Dr. Morris Goodman, Wayne State University School of Medicine. The alignments are presented as text with a reference sequence on top, subsequent sequences represented by nucleotide ‘letters’ only when there is not a match to the reference sequence. Only locus and position information is presented. **Note on gap (indel) and missing data coding: Gaps are treated as single events, regardless of their length, and so are designated by a single dash (‘-‘). Therefore, a stretch of question marks (‘?’) preceded by or containing a ‘-‘ is a gap (indel). A stretch of question marks (‘?’) not containing a dash anywhere is a stretch of missing data.** NEXUS (PAUP) (Swofford) files for each alignment as well as ESEE (Cabot and Brechenbach) sequence alignment files (*.SAV) are available upon request from me. I can also distribute the alignments in FASTA format, if desired. Data requests can typically be responded to within 24-hours.

PLEASE BE PATIENT! The files are relatively large and may take up to a few minutes to load.
