The relative rate of DNA evolution in primates.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Jan 1991

Easteal S

Abstract excerpt

In 73 relative-rate tests involving the sequences of 17 genes between humans and six nonhuman primate taxa, there is only one significant (P less than 0.01) difference in evolutionary rate--i.e., that between human and Old World-monkey psi eta-globin genes. No evolutionary rate difference between humans and Old World monkeys is evident from analysis of 18 other genes with a total length of 6 kb. This and the...
