Interestingly, the reference cited -- 
Holden, Constance; "'Mutant' Chimp Gets a Gene Check," Science, 274:727, 1996.
I cannot find in PubMed.

I cannot view the Science web site abstract.  But the
topic of the article seems reasonable -- *what* precisely
is the chromosome structure for "Oliver"?  If indeed he
is some form of a human-chimpanzee combination then it
would suggest that my previous comments regarding the
difficulty of producing offspring with different
chromosome numbers may be less than I would have
thought.
