Primate Genetics Typing LaboratoryPrimate LaboratorySan Antonio, Texas, USA Primate Genetics Typing Laboratory (Established 1987) 715 Stadium Drive , San Antonio , Texas 78212-7200 USA Director: William H. Stone Phone: 1 (210) 999-8347 Fax: 1 (210) 999-7229 E-mail: wstone@trinity.edu Affiliations: Trinity University Mission: NIH-designated genetics laboratory for typing nonhuman primates; Serves as a research resource for genetic typing of rhesus monkeys ("Macaca mulatta"); Serves primate colonies by providing genetic typing for parentage assessment, monitoring pedigrees, colony inbreeding, colony management and breeding recommendations, and advice for specific research strategies. Principal Research Programs: Identification and characterization of polymorphisms that can be typed using microsatellite markers. We are attempting to identify DNA markers on all of the chromosomes of rhesus monkeys. Training Opportunities: Educational opportunities available for: Undergraduate; Field work opportunities not available; Financial support rarely available; Note: We are largely a research/service laboratory involving undergraduate students Number of Staff: Total (9-11); Scientists (2); Support Staff (3); Students (4-6) Key Personnel: William H. Stone, Major Professor, E-mail: wstone@trinity.edu Lisa Ludvico, Post-Doctoral Scientist, Phone: 1-210-999-7246 or 1-210-999-8216, E-mail: lludvico@trinity.edu Species Supported: Principally, "Macaca mulatta". We do not house any animals. Blood samples are sent to our laboratory from which we prepare DNA.
