Nucleotide diversity in chimpanzees and humans. Each pair of bars represents a different locus/region. Data are from Stone et al. (2002) (for mtDNA), Deinard and Kidd (1999) (for HOXB6), Yu et al. (2002, 2003) (for 50 nc), Kaessmann et al. (1999, 2001) (for Xq13.3), Stone et al. (2002) (for NRY [noncoding region of the Y chromosome]), and from the present study (5′CCR5). The 5′CCR5 was the only region for which humans are more diverse than chimpanzees. In addition, whereas diversity at 5′CCR5 in chimpanzees was lower than that in the 50 noncoding (nc) regions (Yu et al. 2002, 2003), diversity at 5′CCR5 in humans was higher than that in the 50 noncoding regions.
