Abstract excerpt
Many chromosomes are rearranged between humans and chimpanzees while others remain colinear. It was recently observed, based on over 100 genes, that the rates of protein evolution are substantially higher on rearranged than on colinear chromosomes during human-chimpanzee evolution. This finding l...
