The genes encoding multiple copies of these domains do not necessarily occur in close proximity in the corresponding genomes, indicating that duplications were accompanied by extensive genome rearrangement resulting in dispersion of the paralogous genes.
We present evidence for at least one large-scale genomic rearrangement between these two subspecies.
Several mechanisms of genetic change are thought to lead to speciation, including gene evolution via coding sequence mutation, gene expression variation by regulatory element mutation and chromosomal rearrangement - which has the potential to create reproductive barriers and induce genetic isolation within an existing population [ 6 ] . Although a thorough determination of all genetic differences between humans and our closest non-human primate relatives will not be possible until the genomic sequences of great ape species have been determined, many of the chromosomal rearrangements between great apes have been previously characterized at the cytogenetic level.
Probes were selected that flank known sites of genomic rearrangement based upon previous yeast artificial chromosome (YAC) and BAC/PAC mapping studies, together with the human sequence map available from the University of California at Santa Cruz (UCSC) Genome Browser [ 11 12 13 14 15 ] . Probes flanking the Prader-Willi/Angelman syndrome breakpoints, in addition to a characterized inv dup(15) rearrangement were selected to test the possibility that the pericentric inversion evolutionary breakpoint corresponded to a site of known human genomic instability (Figure 1).
As he sees it, all of letterplay revolves around three simple operations by which one word can be transformed into another--insertion, deletion, and rearrangement of letters.
