Abstract
Karyotype analysis by previous investigators demonstrated that human chromosome 18 differs from homologous chromosomes in the great apes by a pericentric inversion. The present study uses fluorescence in situ hybridization on human and pygmy chimpanzee chromosomes to confirm the inversion and to delimit the regions where the breakpoints must have occurred in the human/ape ancestor.Keywords
