We obtained 5' and 3' flanking sequences (5.4 kilobase pairs) from the psi eta-globin gene region of the rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta) and combined them with available nucleotide data. The completed sequence, representing 10.8 kilobase pairs of contiguous noncoding DNA, was compared to the same orthologous regions available for human (Homo sapiens, as represented by five different alleles), c...

A 16-kilobase region surrounding the transcription initiation site for ribosomal DNA and including the entire ribosomal DNA transcription unit has been characterized in man and compared in higher primates. Restriction analysis of ribosomal DNA from the pygmy chimpanzee (Pan paniscus), the common chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes), the gorilla (Gorilla gorilla), the orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus), the gib...
