  1. ANOVA = analysis of variance. "Expressed genes" are those designated as "present" by the default Affymetrix MAS 5.0 software in at least one tissue in either chimpanzees or humans. ANOVA was used to identify genes whose expression was significantly different (P < 0.05) between humans and chimpanzees for each of the tissue types. The percentages in parentheses were calculated by dividing the number of genes differentially expressed or not in each tissue by the total number of genes expressed in that tissue.
