Panels of somatic cell hybrids specific for chimpanzee, gorilla, orangutan, and baboon

Cytogenet Genome Res. 2005;108(1-3):223-8. doi: 10.1159/000080820.

Abstract

The generation of panels of somatic cell hybrids specific for chimpanzee, gorilla, orangutan, and olive baboon is reported. The chromosome content of each hybrid clone was characterized using reverse painting on human normal metaphases and by the use of appropriate sequence tag sites (STSs), one for each chromosome arm. These resources can be advantageously exploited in the characterization of chromosome architecture of different primate species, with special reference to the discrimination of inter- and intra-chromosomal arrangement of segmental duplications.
