Welcome to the Pan troglodytes Genome Resources page. The chimpanzee genome effort will generate an important resource for gene discovery, affecting primate health, biology, and the growing field of comparative genomics. This page offers a gateway to chimpanzee genome resources at NCBI and beyond. We encourage your suggestions.

[Chimpanzee]

The chimpanzee is our closest living evolutionary relative. Sequencing the chimpanzee genome will provide great insight into genome evolution and organization, particularly late primate evolution. The sequence will also further facilitate research in biodiversity, ecology, and medicine.

Just In...
New Genome Assembly!: The Chimpanzee Sequencing and Analysis Consortium has released an improved 6X assembly of the chimpanzee genome, which is available for viewing in Map Viewer along with the alternate chromosome Y sequence and assembly CCYSCv1 reported by the Chimpanzee Chromosome Y Sequencing Consortium in a recent publication.
