Comparing the human and chimpanzee genomes: Searching for needles in a haystack
Ajit Varki and Tasha K. Altheide
From the abstract:
The chimpanzee genome sequence is a long-awaited milestone, providing opportunities to explore primate evolution and genetic contributions to human physiology and disease. Humans and chimpanzees shared a common ancestor ∼5-7 million years ago (Mya). The difference between the two genomes is actually not ∼1%, but ∼4%comprising ∼35 million single nucleotide differences and ∼90 Mb of insertions and deletions. ...
