Abstract
- In a representative sample of primate species, including simians (Catarrhini and Platyrrhini) and prosimians (Lemuriformes and Lorisiformes), high-resolution, early replication banding revealed a homoeologous early replicating segment at the ends of both sex chromosomes. The DXYZ2 element, a repeated sequence specific for the human pseudoautosomal region, is conserved in the genomes of all primate species studies and is specifically localized in the distal early replicating segments of the X and Y chromosomes. Thus, cytogenetic and molecular evidence is presented of a highly conserved sex-chromosomal segment in primates. The pseudoautosomal behavior of this segment is discussed.
