| Research Abstract |
This study deals with rapid changes in the amount of constitutive heterochromatin, including emergence, amplification, reduction and extinction. These changes are frequently observed in many primate groups, such as hominids and gibbons. Cloning, sequencing and hybridization experiments revealed that such rapid changes are associated with integration of repetitive sequencesinto the centromere or telomere and the speed of change depends on their nucleotide sequences.
