From: One pedigree we all may have come from – did Adam and Eve have the chromosome 2 fusion?

Alignment of G-banded human (HSA2) and chimpanzee (PTR12 and PTR13) metaphase chromosomes demonstrates that a few megabases of subtelomeric regions (mainly repetitive satellite DNA) are absent in the human genome. DNA seqeunece of these genomic regions in PTR12 and PTR13 is not well annotated and their gene content is essentially unknown. Note that this sequence may not represent the deleted fragments of the ancestral chromosomes IIp and IIq [16]
