Method "[Researchers] sequenced and assembled the genome of a female bonobo individual (Ulindi) and compared it to those of chimpanzees and humans."
Comments "On average, the two alleles in single-copy, autosomal regions in the Ulindi genome are approximately 99.9% identical to each other, 99.6% identical to corresponding sequences in the chimpanzee genome and 98.7% identical to corresponding sequences in the human genome."
