Abstract
The human beta-casein gene (CSN2) has been mapped by fluorescence in s itu hybridization to human chromosome 4q13-->q21 and to the homologous chimpanzee chromosome at 3p13-->p12. This confirms the presence of a pericentric inversion that distinguishes the two species, as first obs erved by chromosomal banding studies.
