Abstract
The human complement of chromosomes differs from our closest primate relatives by virtue of a unique chromosome fusion event. In this issue of Cell Genomics, Yang et al. provide the first detailed analysis of the site of chromosome fusion and reconstruct the complex evolutionary relationships among the genomic elements within the human fusion site and their related sequences in our great ape relatives.
