Zusammenfassung:Li and Saunders elaborates the publication of the draft DNA sequence of the chimpanzee genome that holds data containing a treasury of information for the understanding of human biology and evolution. The draft tells that the DNA sequence of human genome and that of the chimpanzee differ by only a few percent. This still amounts to tens of millions of differences because each genome contains some 3 billion nucleotides.
