  1. CD = chimpanzee deletion; CI = chimpanzee insertion; HD = human deletion; HI = human insertion; INDEL = insertion and deletion; NIS = noninterspersed sequence; RT = retrotransposon sequence. The genes associated with INDELs were classified on the basis of the type of INDEL (HIs, CIs, HDs and CIs) associated with the gene and type of sequence contained in the INDEL (RTs vs NISs).
