Abstract
Chimpanzee and human chromosomes have been compared after staining by Giemsa-11, trypsin banding, quinacrine fluorescence, and centromeric heterochromatin techniques. The Giemsa-11 technique appears to stain areas containing a particular DNA satellite fraction. All but three chimpanzee chromosomes could be assigned fairly definite homologs in the human karyotype. The most common form of rearrangement between chromosomes in the two species appears to be pericentric inversion.
