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
