Hey,
​
I was wondering something. What are the actual genetic differences between humans and apes. Anyone have info on this? Something else: do we (humans) have any proteins that apes don't have?
​
Thx!

DNA sequences
Both the human genome and that of Pan troglodytes have been completely sequenced and the sequences are available to everyone. At the moment comparisons of the two are ongoing and the findings should be published in the next couple of months or so.

Surely there are a few here and there.... The significant biochemical difference that I'm aware of between us is the exact sialic acid that we have on the outsides of our cells. But they're amino sugars, not proteins.

Title modification
I've added the "(Re: Comparison of Human and Ape Genomes)" part to the title.
​
Not to pick on "Black", but the title should have been something like "Comparison of Human and Ape Genomes" in the first place.
​
People, lets really try to get quality titles on your topics.
