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?

Interesting. Do you have a reference where I can catch up, perhaps, since I seem to be a bit behind now...
