| abstractText | Hybridization of DNA from three panels of karyotypically distinct owl monkey x rodent somatic cell hybrids with human DNA probes resulted in the syntenic assignments of INSR-LDLR-TGFB1-APOE-D19S8 to owl monkey chromosome 25 of karyotype VI (2n = 49/50), INSR-LDLR-TGFB1-D19S8 to chromosome 2 of karyotype II (2n = 54), and INSR-APOE to chromosome 2 of karyotype V (2n = 46). The APOE and D19S8 loci are on adjacent regions proximal to the centromere of chromosomes 25q (K-VI) and 2p (K-II), as determined by in situ chromosomal hybridization analysis. These findings support our previous proposals on (1) the homology of these chromosomes of three owl monkey karyotypes, (2) the evolutionary derivation of chromosome 2 of karyotypes II and V as the result of two separate centric fusion events, and (3) the likelihood that owl monkey chromosome 25 (K-VI) (and its homologs) is a conserved genetic homoeolog of human chromosome 19. |
