ABSTRACT

Our article concerns on resequencing foxp2 gene, called “speech gene”. It has been already sequenced in human, 7 species of primates, several species of birds, mammals and reptiles. Mutations in human foxp2 locus causes changes in developing of brain parts responsible for speech process. While comparing sequencing results we found some divergences in the orangutans (Pongo pygmaeus) foxp2 sequences. Three research teams published different versions of foxp2 sequence. The effects of this article are results of resequencing foxp2 gene in orangutan and its declaration to GenBank with the access number: DQ789573.

Key words: orangutan, foxp2 gene.
