## Communicated by Peter Oefner The sequencing of the chimpanzee genome and the comparison with its human counterpart have begun to reveal the spectrum of genetic changes that has accompanied human evolution. In addition to gross karyotypic rearrangements such as the fusion that formed human chrom
The human major histocompatibility complex (MHC), on the short arm of chromosome 6, represents one of the most extensively characterised regions of the human genome. This -4 Mb segment of DNA contains genes encoding the polymorphic MHC class I and class I1 molecules which are involved in antigen pre
