| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We investigated the genotypes and feeding behaviors of various monkeys: macaques, colobines in Asia, chimpanzees in Africa, and spider monkeys, capuchins, howler monkeys, and marmosets in South America. For the genome analysis, we focused on the sensory receptors, taste receptors and photoreceptors, which belong to the G-protein coupled receptors. These research activities revealed the species specific function of receptors. Some species showed polymorphism in these receptor genes. These molecular functions would be related to the feeding behaviors of monkeys in the wild and evolved as adapting to the environments each species survived.
