There are several papers about DNA comparison of Human and Chimpanzee by comparing nucleotide bases:
Chimpanzee DNA Sequences Queried Against Human Genome
| Answers Research Journal
Comprehensive Analysis of Chimp & Human Chromosomes
| Answers Research Journal
All of them indicate large differences 70%-89% between Human and Chimpanzee, which is in contrast to generally accepted difference between 94%-98%. This is presented as proof that Humans and Chimpanzees are not closly related as it was presented for decades.
I was very interested in these papers. I am software developer so I have close to "playing" with algorithms. And because all resources are free on the Internet I was wondering if I could reproduce results.
I think these numbers are taken by different method than previous high similarity results. So I think other reference data is needed. But I have difficulties in obtaining results presented in papers above so I was wondering if there is anybody, who can help.
I have several goals:
1)
Opinions: I would like to know what other think about this research and used methodology.
2)
Verification: I would like to verify data from papers to be sure my method is exactly the same as it was used in papers.
3)
Test: Because I am suspicious (my preliminary results are far from numbers preseted in paper), I would like to do some method verification test: e.g. compare Human-Human DNA.
4)
Further research: By the same method compare DNA between species inside one baramin (e.g. mouse and rat).
I think sharing these information, advices, tips, hints in this disscussion would be benefical. We can find some interesting results together.
What do you think?
