Figure 1

Analysis of the chromosome 7 shared Alu insertion using polymerase chain reaction. The Alu insertion is shared among Hominidae (the great apes) and absent from other extant primates. The filled site is approximately 707 bp (lanes 3 to 8) and the empty site is 390 bp (lanes 9 to 13). Lanes: (1) 100 bp DNA ladder; (2) negative control; (3) human; (4) bonobo chimpanzee; (5) common chimpanzee; (6) lowland gorilla; (7) Sumatran orangutan; (8) Bornean orangutan; (9) siamang; (10) white-handed gibbon; (11) red-cheeked gibbon; (12) African green monkey; (13) rhesus macaque.
