Abstract excerpt
Nucleotide sequences of a part of the stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) gene 3' untranslated region were studied among hominoids (chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans and gibbons). An identical sequence to the human SDF1-3'G allele was found in chimpanzees and gibbons, whereas that to the 3'A allele was found in gorillas. Based on the sequence data and the hominoid phylogenetic relation, it was suggested that an...
