A molecular cytogenetic approach that facilitates high-resolution comparative mapping of defined human genes in different primate species is presented. Fluorescence in situ hybridization and digital imaging microscopy were used to visualize human DNA probes on simultaneously banded or "painted" metaphase chromosomes of great apes (Pan troglodytes, Gorilla gorilla, Pongo pygmaeus), hylobatids (Hylobates lar and Hylobates syndactylus), and Old World monkeys (Macaca fuscata and Cercopithecus aethiops). Using a series of DNA probes, chromosomal rearrangements in the karyotypes of primates were readily detected at the molecular cytogenetic level. This approach should contribute considerably to the understanding of primate phylogeny and evolution.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D011323 Primates An order of mammals consisting of more than 300 species that include LEMURS; LORISIDAE; TARSIERS; MONKEYS; and HOMINIDS. They are characterized by a relatively large brain when compared with other terrestrial mammals, forward-facing eyes, the presence of a CALCARINE SULCUS, and specialized MECHANORECEPTORS in the hands and feet which allow the perception of light touch. Primate
D002460 Cell Line Established cell cultures that have the potential to propagate indefinitely. Cell Lines,Line, Cell,Lines, Cell
D002874 Chromosome Mapping Any method used for determining the location of and relative distances between genes on a chromosome.

D006801 Humans Members of the species Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D017404 In Situ Hybridization, Fluorescence A type of IN SITU HYBRIDIZATION in which target sequences are stained with fluorescent dye so their location and size can be determined using fluorescence microscopy. This staining is sufficiently distinct that the hybridization signal can be seen both in metaphase spreads and in interphase nuclei.
