Probes in regular type (12) were used to characterize all primate species. Probes in italics were used to define specific rearrangements. Asterisks indicate probes used to confirm literature data (*P. pygmeus breakpoints, **G. gorilla breakpoints; for details, see the text and Figure 1). Cen, Centromere; End, long arm telomere. Bold indicates the relative cytogenetic positions in the chromosome 17 to focus their localization among the other markers.
