Abstract excerpt
A DNA fragment covering the chimpanzee c-myc locus was cloned from the DNA of peripheral blood lymphocytes, sequenced, and compared to its human c-myc counterpart. The two nucleotide sequences were found to be highly homologous (99%). The divergence rate between the two species was 0.4% in exons and 1.7% in introns. The different TATA-boxes described in the human myc gene were also identified in the chimpanzee...
