Research Abstract

In order to understand the evolution of color vision in primates, we analyzed photo-pigment genes of 157 gibbons in Indonesia and Thailand. As the results, we could not find any color vision abnormalities in Gibbons. In addition, we found that the nucleotide diversity of the exon 3 of the L/M color pigment gene was very low compared to the intron 3 or 4. The results suggested the selection pressure on the variation of the color pigment genes.
