She worked on the chimpanzee genome in the early years of the Browser, a project that led her to an important discovery about the difference between humans and primates. She spoke with us about the ...

Every second, Human Genome Project computers decode 12,000 letters ... Human DNA is 98 percent identical to chimpanzee DNA. The average amount of genetic difference between any two chimpanzees ...

The team analyzed the exomes - the protein-coding part of the genome - from 828 wild chimpanzees, 388 of which were included in the final analysis, representing 30 different chimp populations from ...

Similarly, it’s hard to study genetic sequences if they’re absent from the human reference genome, the product of the $2.7 billion Human Genome Project, which is typically ... and even the chimpanzee ...

Analyses of these genomes overwhelmingly support the hypothesis that chimpanzees are our closest relatives, but speciation occurred over such a brief period of time that it left our genome a ...
