Believe me 12% is a HUGE difference in the sequence. That's the second time you've done that - I'm not sure where you're getting a 12% difference from, because it's not in the article, and it's not anywhere else that I know of either. I think you'd better check that one out again.

12, 1.2 -- What's the difference? It's only an order of magnitude. Not really hugh or series.

general_re: truth is, it's an anecdotal figure from prior reading on the matter. I ought to state that. The chimp genome is not a fully mapped as the human genome, and there's some fancy my-theory-is-better-than-yours work done to reconcile differences between human and chimp chromosomes, haplotypes and so on.
I will be careful to state "I understand to be a 12% difference" as opposed to presenting it as scientific fact.
Nothing like FR to catch you with your 'facts' exposed. Good peer review, eh?
