Journal ArticleDOI
Genomewide comparison of DNA sequences between humans and chimpanzees
TL;DR: Since the extent of divergence differs significantly among autosomes, additional unknown factors must also influence the accumulation of substitutions in the human genome and the relative time spent in the male and female germlines may be a major determinant of the overall accumulation of nucleotide substitutions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) discovery in mammals : a targeted-gene approach
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored one SNP discovery method for molecular ecology, evolution, and conservation studies to evaluate the method and its limitations for population genetics in mammals, and made use of 'CATS' (or 'EPIC') primers to screen for novel SNPs in mammals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gene Diversity Patterns at 10 X-Chromosomal Loci in Humans and Chimpanzees
TL;DR: The pattern and extent of nucleotide diversity in 10 X-chromosomal genes where mutations are known to cause mental retardation in humans are investigated, and a summary of the allele frequency spectrum is significantly correlated in humans and chimpanzees, perhaps reflecting very similar levels of constraint at these genes in the two species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of 15 single nucleotide polymorphism markers for chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes)
TL;DR: These single nucleotide polymorphism markers are the first to be designed for the genotyping of wild chimpanzee populations and will provide a useful addition to the genetic tools employed for the conservation management of this threatened species.
