Abstract
By multiplex fluorescence in situ hybridization (M-FISH) that enables the simultaneous identification of 24 human chromosomes, we studied chromosomal homologies between humans (Homo sapiens, 2n=46) and 6 species of Old World monkey, namely, the vervet monkey (Cercopithecus aethiops, 2n=60), patas monkey (Erythrocebus patas, 2n=54), hanuman langur (Semnopithecus entellus, 2n=44), cynomolgus monkey (Macaca fascicularis, 2n=42), stump-tailed macaque (Macaca arctoides, 2n=42) and hamadryas baboon (Papio hamadryas, 2n=42). Individual human chromosomes were found to correspond to either one or two chromosomes of each monkey species without any detectable complex translocation involving more than 2 chromosomes. Based on chromosomal correspondences among these species, we propose a hypothetical karyotype phylogeny.
