We have analyzed gene expression in various brain regions of humans and chimpanzees. Within both human and chimpanzee individuals, the transcriptomes of the cerebral cortex are very similar to each other and differ more between individuals than among regions within an individual. In contrast, the transcriptomes of the cerebral cortex, the caudate nucleus, and the cerebellum differ substantially from each other.

Current understanding of the phylogeny of prokaryotes is based on the comparison of the highly conserved small ssu-rRNA subunit and similar regions. Although such molecules have proved to be very useful phylogenetic markers, mutational saturation is a problem, due to their restricted lengths. Now, a growing number of complete prokaryotic genomes are available.

Although humans and their closest evolutionary relatives, the chimpanzees, are 98.7% identical in their genomic DNA sequences, they differ in many morphological, behavioral, and cognitive aspects. The underlying genetic basis of many of these differences may be altered gene expression.
