High divergence in primate-specific duplicated regions: human and chimpanzee chorionic gonadotropin beta genes.

BMC evolutionary biology - 7 Jul 2008

Hallast Pille, Saarela Janna, Palotie Aarno, Laan Maris

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Low nucleotide divergence between human and chimpanzee does not sufficiently explain the species-specific morphological, physiological and behavioral traits. As gene duplication is a major prerequisite for the emergence of new genes and novel biological processes, comparative studies of human and chimpanzee duplicated genes may assist in understanding the mechanisms behind primate evolution. We...
