Number of genome rearrangements by species
| Species | Rearrangements >100 kb | Rearrangements >5 kb |
|---|---|---|
| Orang-utan | 38 | 861 |
| Chimpanzee | 85 (+124%) | 1,095 (+27%) |
| Human | 54 (+42%) | 1,238 (44%) |
The number in parentheses indicates the percentage change with respect to the orang-utan genome. Note 40 events >100 kb and 532 events >5 kb were assigned to the human-chimpanzee ancestor by ancestral reconstruction (Supplementary Information section 6).
