Abstract DNA polymorphisms in the ε- and γ-globin gene regions in nine Asian macaques(Macaca fuscata, M. mulatta, M. nemestrina, M. cyclopis, M. fascicularis, M. arctoides, M. radiata, M. maura, andM. assamensis) were examined using several different restriction endonucleases and the human ε and γIVS2 probes.M. fuscata andM. mulatta had highly polymorphic sites(BglII andHincII, respectively) in the ε-globin gene region. TheBamHI site in the γ-globin gene region was highly polymorphic inM. mulatta, while theBglII andHindIII sites in the γ-globin gene region were highly polymorphic inM. fuscata andM. mulatta. The presence of the γ-globin gene triplication was frequently observed inM. fuscata. The gain or loss of an additionalBglII site between two γ-globin genes in Asian macaques seems to be very meaningful for discussing genetic relationships among them.
