Figure 2. Inversion polymorphism among primates.

Figure 2

A Metaphase FISH assay distinguishes between the H2 orientation (merged yellow) signal and H1 orientation (distinct green and red) based on proximity of two unique probes (Supplementary Note): (a) Extracted chromosome 17 from three human; (b) five orangutan and (c) nine chimpanzee lymphoblast cell lines are shown. The H2 orientation (white arrow) predominates in orangutan and chimpanzee samples. In humans, the H2 haplotype is restricted to Middle Eastern and European populations.
