AB  - We have investigated, by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), the 
      cytogenetic evolution of the Y chromosome in primates using 17 yeast artificial 
      chromosomes, representative of the Y-specific euchromatic region of the human 
      chromosome Y. The FISH experiments were performed on great apes (Homo sapiens, 
      Pan troglodytes, Gorilla gorilla and Pongo pygmaeus pygmaeus), and on two Old 
      World monkeys species as an outgroup (Cercopitecidae Macaca fascicularis and 
      Papio anubis). The results showed that this peculiar chromosome has undergone 
      rapid and unconstrained evolution both in sequence content and organization.
