Abstract
The telomeres of gorilla, chimpanzee-and human peripheral blood cells have been examined by hybridization to an oligonucleotide probe, (TTAG GG)(4), following conventional and pulsed-field electrophoresis proced ures. The MspI site present near the chromosome terminus undergoes met hylation in gorilla, chimpanzee and human genome as shown by the HpaII digestion. Minor (TTAGGG)4-hybridizing sequences have been also detec ted in the chimpanzee HindIII and MspI digests.
