Which home for coelacanth?
Article Abstract:
A recent survey conducted at Grande Comore and Anjouan discloses that Latimeria, a bottom-oriented drift hunter, inhabits the relatively calm waters around the rocky slopes at a depth of 200 m. Coelacanth catches have come from the Comores of northwest Madagascar since 1938. The main issue raised was whether the catches from the African coasts were strays. Coelacanths thrive in the temperate waters of the twilight zone, and Mozambique Coelacanths are strays from Comores. The strong South-west Mozambique current of the Comorean archipelagoes must have transported the fish.

DNA sequence and comparative analysis of chimpanzee chromosome 22
Article Abstract:
A human-chimpanzee whole-chromosome comparison is conducted, at a nucleotide sequence level on human chromosome 21 and its orthologue chimpanzee chromosome 2. The analysis of these chromosomes should display dynamic changes that may show general evolutionary events occurring throughout the human genime.

Chromosome territories
Article Abstract:
The chromosome territory, where each chromosome is confined to a discrete region, is emerging as a vital aspect of gene regulation and genome stability in health and disease. The main features, functions and the structure of chromosome territory are discussed.
