Distribution of amino-acid sequence similarity between human and macaque. Sequencing reads containing the terminal 150 amino acids of each macaque gene were compared to their best human match using MEGABLAST. Only sequences composed of contiguous high-quality bases (phred Q ≥ 20 bp, n = 320) throughout the terminal 150 amino acids are included. Of these sequences, 5% show less than 88% nucleotide similarity to their best-matching human homolog.
