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.

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 ...

A chimpanzee genome project is a biomedical imperative. Genome Res. 10 , 1065–1070 (2000). Survey of existing knowledge about the biomedical differences between great apes and humans.

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

The chimpanzee genome draft represents a sequencing coverage of about 3.5 times, lower than that in the initial publication of other genomes, such as those of human, mouse and rat.

Some 7,000 genomic parasites known as Alu repeats exist in the human genome, compared to 2,300 in the chimp genome. While a lot of these parasites have no important effect on our genome, others have.

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 whose genome sequence will soon be published, has died. His demise has sparked a debate about whether more effort should be made to preserve samples from the individuals that ...

Scientists have completed a draft of the chimpanzee genetic blueprint and placed the information into a free, public database, scientists announced Wednesday. The draft, covering an estimated 88% ...
