Overview of primate phylogeny.

<p>An overview of primate phylogeny is shown, with the number of <i>ADH1</i> paralogs identified within select taxon indicated by the circled numbers at the leaves of the tree. Black numbers are derived from analysis of public databases, while red numbers were determined from cDNA sequencing reported here. The “4+1” designation for the macaque taxon indicates the presence of four <i>ADH1</i> paralogous genes plus one <i>ADH1</i> pseudogene. The genome sequencing projects are not completed for any lemur, so additional <i>ADH1</i> paralogs may be present (see text).
