摘要

Many chromosomes are rearranged between humans and chimpanzees while others remain colinear. It was recently observed, based on over 100 genes, that the rates of protein evolution are substantially higher on rearranged than on colinear chromosomes during human-chimpanzee evolution. This finding led to the conclusion, since debated in the literature, that chromosomal rearrangements had played a key role in human-chimpanzee speciation. Here we re-examine this important conclusion by employing larger a data set (over 7000 genes), as well as alternative analyses. We show that the higher rates of protein evolution on rearranged chromosomes observed in the earlier study are not reproduced by our survey of the larger data set. We further show that the conclusion of the earlier study is likely confounded by two factors introduced by the relatively limited sample size: (1) nonuniform distribution of genes in the genome, and (2) stochastic noise in substitution rates inherent to short lineages such as the human-chimpanzee lineage. Our results offer a general cautionary note on the importance of controlling for hidden factors in studies involving bioinformatic surveys.
