Genome-wide analysis of chimpanzee genes with premature termination codons

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Premature termination codons (PTCs) cause mRNA degradation or a truncated protein and thereby contribute to the transcriptome and proteome divergence between species. Here we present the first genome-wide study of PTCs in the chimpan...
