The summary of chimpanzee exome data from Bataillon et al. (2015) is shown. As some of the sequenced chimpanzees were males, the sample size (number of haploid chromosomes sequenced) varies between the autosomes and X chromosomes. The number of sites represents the number of sequenced sites where SNPs where potentially called. The orientation of SNPs was inferred via parsimony using the human reference genome, as well as the orangutan reference genome. Further details on the SNP, divergence calling, and SNP orientation are available in Hvilsom et al. (2012).
