Visualizing DNA
»From the datamining and science part of the brain.
A year late, but interesting since I’m currently taking a Data Mining course. According to the Sept 2005 edition of Nature, chimps and humans share 96 percent of the same genetic material.
Clint the chimp was the source of the DNA that scientists used to map the chimpanzee genome.
National Geographic: Chimps, Humans 96 Percent the Same. With a statistic like that, journals and articles should really make an effort to provide screenshots. I’m not talking about bar graphs or pie charts; I mean some sort of visual eye candy that makes me say “Oh sh*t, that does look like 96%.” Something like what Dr. Eamonn Keogh out of UC Riverside did with his work on visualizing the similarity of human and chimp DNA. Make sure to watch the video comparing human and chimp DNA.
