The study of breakpoints that occurred during primate evolution promises to yield valuable insights into the mechanisms underlying chromosome rearrangements in both evolution and pathology. Karyotypic differences between humans and chimpanzees include nine pericentric inversions, which may have pote
The genes for testis-specific protein Y (TSPY) were sequenced from chimpanzee (Pun troglodytes), gorilla (Gorilla gorilla), orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus), and baboon (Papio hamadryas). The sequences were compared with each othei~ and with the published human sequence. Substitutions were detected at 144
