Comparing the human and chimpanzee genomes: Searching for needles in a haystack

Study is conducted to explore the primate evolution and genetic contributions to human physiology and disease, provided by the chimpanzee genome sequence. Nucleotide substitutions, gene duplications, insertions and deletions, retro-transposition and potential karyotypic changes are some of the data and analyses provided by the sequencing of the chimpanzee genome.
