Understanding the recent evolution of the human genome: insights from human-chimpanzee genome comparisons.

Human mutation - 1 Feb 2007

Kehrer-Sawatzki Hildegard, Cooper David N

Abstract excerpt

The sequencing of the chimpanzee genome and the comparison with its human counterpart have begun to reveal the spectrum of genetic changes that has accompanied human evolution. In addition to gross karyotypic rearrangements such as the fusion that formed human chromosome 2 and the human-specific pericentric inversions of chromosomes 1 and 18, there is considerable submicroscopic structural variation involving...
