Scientists have compared the genetic blueprints of humans and chimpanzees for the first time and discovered thousands of genes that are virtually identical in both species -- confirming the long ...

Comparisons of the human genome and the newly completed draft of the chimpanzee genome have unearthed major differences between the patterns of large duplicated segments of DNA in the two species.

Dr. EvanEichler, associate professor of genome sciences at the University ofWashington in Seattle, led this study, in addition to being involved inthe Chimpanzee Genome Sequencing Project.

Other DNA differences affect the digestion of foods – not surprising when you consider how much our diets have diverged from chimp diets. When Pollard was a postdoctoral fellow at UC Santa Cruz (UCSC) ...

Initial sequence of the chimpanzee genome and comparison with the human genome. Nature , 2005; 437 (7055): 69 DOI: 10.1038/nature04072 Perry et al. Copy number variation and evolution in humans ...

Genome project chimp dies unexpectedly. By Anna Gosline. 8 January 2005 Clint, the chimpanzee whose genome sequence will soon be published, has died. His demise has sparked a ...

Most notably, savanna-dwelling chimps lack these genetic signals found in the first population. The incredible study ...

The chimp genome "led to literally too many questions, there were 35 million differences between us and chimpanzees — that's too much to figure out," Jonathan Rothberg, 454's chairman, said in a ...

Clint, the chimpanzee in this picture, died several months ago at a relatively young age of 24. But part of him lives on. Scientists chose him–or rather, his DNA–as the subject of their first ...

Given the outward differences, it seems reasonable to expect to find fundamental differences in the portions of the genome that determine chimp and human brains — reasonable, at least, to a ...
