Abstract excerpt
Rates of substitution were compared between humans and Old World monkeys for sequences in or adjacent to 19 genes. The comparison of 21,299 sites in noncoding regions indicates that the substitution rate is approximately 43% greater in the Old World monkey lineage. However, 83% of the compared sites are in the region of the beta-globin gene family. Outside this region there is no consistent pattern of rate...
