I have also looked at fumarase and 40S ribosomal protein S4. These do not change much. The ribosomal protein shows that the chicken is closer to human than mammals outside of primates.(in terms of that protein)

Well, I warned you about canned programs. The human protein has an extra N-terminal and C-terminal that most mammals lack (you can count each deletion as a single mutation, if you like), but if you focus on the common sequence, I get 4 differences between Sus scrofa (pig; go figure) and H. sapiens; and 12 between Gallus gallus and H. sapiens. Bos taurus is almost identical to S. scrofa (1 change)

My chicken is the chicken rps4 (P47836); human is the Y-linked rps4 (AAH10286) and the pig is BAA21081; pigs only have one sex-chromosome linked rps4. Cow is BAA21078.

I can post the aligned sequences on a web page., if anyone wants to see for himself.

Well, I warned you about canned programs.

Well, here is what 2 way blast shows about your comparisons. Note: the chicken protein is the same length as the human protein.

Here I grabbed the pieces from the chicken and the human protein in order to compare the same range as the pig. I think that this is not the correct way to analyze the data but as you can see the chicken still wins by 181 to 178.

Sequence 1	lcl|seq_1 This is chicken -- Andy		Length	194	(1 .. 194)
Sequence 2	lcl|seq_2 This is human -- Andy		Length	194	(1 .. 194)
