Duplication and divergence in humans and chimpanzees.

BioEssays : news and reviews in molecular, cellular and developmental biology - 1 Apr 2006

Wooding Stephen, Jorde Lynn B

Abstract excerpt

It has become a truism that we humans are genetically about 99% identical to chimpanzees. The origins of this assertion are clear: among early studies of DNA sequences, nucleotide identity between humans and chimpanzees was found to average around 98.9%.(1) However, this figure is correct only with respect to regions of the genome that are shared between humans and chimpanzees. Often ignored are the many parts of...
