Abstract excerpt
Human and non-human primate ABO blood group genes show relatively large numbers of nucleotide differences. In this study, we determined exon 7 sequences for 10 individuals of common chimpanzee and for four individuals of bonobo to estimate nucleotide diversities among them. Sequence data showed the existence of chimpanzee specific 9-base deletion in the beginning of the exon 7 coding region. From a phylogenetic...
