During this analysis, chimpanzee, pygmy chimpanzee, gorilla and orangutan chromosomes were assayed for the species-specificity of the pericentric inversion (Figure 2).
To confirm these observations, metaphase chromosome preparations were generated from lymphoblast-derived cell lines for human, common chimpanzee, pygmy chimpanzee ( Pan paniscus ; PPA), gorilla and orangutan.
Upon hybridization of this probe to a panel of human, pygmy chimpanzee, common chimpanzee and gorilla genomic DNAs, two bands were observed in the human sample and a single band was noted in all great ape species, providing further evidence that the CHRNA7 duplication was specific to humans and was not present at the time of the pericentric inversion event in the chimpanzee genome.
It should be noted that the inversion, although primarily characterized in the common chimpanzee ( Pan troglodytes ) was also observed in the pygmy chimpanzee ( Pan paniscus ) thus dating the inversion event more precisely to an interval of 2-5 million years ago (data not shown).
DNA was obtained from cell lines and/or blood from a human (sample ID 02-0056), two unrelated common chimpanzees (sample IDs: NA03450B, NA03448A), two unrelated pygmy chimpanzees (sample IDs: BB501, LB502), and two unrelated gorillas (sample IDs: 9521, 9247).
