| Research Abstract |
Whole transcriptome analyses were performed in a human and chimpanzee trio(father. mother. child) by quantifying mRNA level in each individual. Combined polymorphic information in parents and children with the amount of allele specific gene expression in children, we can quantify allele specific gene expression in children with known parental origin. The result reveals that around 17% of genes show allele biased expression in a chimpanzee child.
