| Method |
"[Researchers] report a draft sequence of the genome of the common
chimpanzee, and undertake comparative analyses with the human
genome." |
| Comments |
"Single-nucleotide substitutions occur at a mean rate of 1.23%
between copies of the human and chimpanzee genome, with 1.06%
or less corresponding to fixed divergence between the species...[Researchers] calculate the genome-wide nucleotide divergence between human and chimpanzee to be 1.23%, confirming recent results from more limited studies (refs 12,33,34). The differences
between one copy of the human genome and one copy of the
chimpanzee genome include both the sites of fixed divergence
between the species and some polymorphic sites within each species." |
