Humans(Homo sapiens) have very close cousins in apes. In factchimpanzees (Pan troglodytes),bonobos (Panpaniscus),orangutan(Pongo abelii) and gorilla(Gorilla gorilla)has
Genetic similarity from 96% to as high as 99.4%. Some scientistseven believe that they are so similar to humans that some of themshould be reclassified into the genus Homo.Below is given somegenetic sequence of these apes along with humans. You can run adynamic programming algorithm to find out which species has themost genetic similarity with humans.
Homo sapiens AAATTCGTA
Pongo abelii ATGTAGCAT
Pan troglodytes TGCGCGTAG
Gorilla gorilla TACGATCGA
(a) Find out the genetic similarity between humans and each ofthe other species and state which one(s) are the most similar tohumans. Show all steps clearly.
(b) Tell us what is the matching string that helped you to cometo this conclusion. Show how you found this string.
