Abstract excerpt
Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) are a genetically diverse species, consisting of four highly distinct subspecies. As humans' closest living relative, they have been a key model organism in the study of human evolution, and comparisons of human and chimpanzee transcriptomes have been widely used to characterize differences in gene expression levels that could underlie the phenotypic differences between the two...
