Sequence alignment of the 5-HTTLPR polymorphic locus 2 (PL2) in Papionini. The core sequence of the repeat is 5’-CTGCACCCCTCCCAGCATCTCCC-3′ but consecutive repeats can vary considerably. Within this locus, Papionini differ at four locations labelled as PL2-1 – PL2-4. This results in several alleles. This study: papL = long allele in Papio hamadryas; papS = short allele in baboons; lop = allele in Lophocebus aterrimus; mle = allele in Mandrillus leucophaeus; msp = allele in Mandrillus sphinx; cer = allele in Cercocebus chrysogaster. Former studies: msy = allele in Macaca sylvanus; mfa = allele in M. fascicularis; rhL, rhS = long and short alleles in M. mulatta; mmzL and mmzS = long and short alleles in M. munzala; mti = allele in M. thibetana; mraL and mraS = long and short alleles in M. radiata; msi = allele in M. silenus.
