## Description

High-depth sequence reads from an individual male chimpanzee were used to detect paralogy in the human genome reference sequence. This track shows confirmed chimpanzee segmental duplications on human reference, defined as having greater than 94% similarity to sequences with at least 10 kb in length.

## Credits

The data were provided by Ginger Cheng and Evan Eichler as part of their efforts to map chimp paralogy at the University of Washington.
