Ideogram of human chromosome 16 (HSA 16; B) and its chimpanzee homolog (PTR XVI; A). BACs used for FISH analyses are indicated in blue (HSA 16q) and red (HSA 16p). Inversion breakpoints are denoted by vertical red lines. The green lines represent the chimpanzee scaffold_32947, which is split on human chromosome 16.
