Recent nuclear sequence analyses have provided evidence that primates and rodents are more closely related than previously believed (Madsen et al. 2001
; Murphy et al. 2001a,
2001b
). This proposal is difficult to reconcile with morphological insights (Liu et al. 2001
; Novacek 2001
) and is not generally supported by current mitochondrial sequence data (Reyes, Pesole, and Saccone 2000
; Nikaido et al. 2001
; Arnason et al. 2002
; Janke et al. 2002
). Moreover, the supporting data and analyses have been criticized on methodological grounds (Rosenberg and Kumar 2001
). Here we report deletions in two nuclear protein-coding genes that lend independent support
