It is known that the genetic code of the chimpanzee is very similar to that of the human being. Taking into account the ability of chimpanzees to combat some diseases of recent times, such as AIDS and malaria, one can easily understand the curiosity that has arisen to investigate their genetic code. To this end, the scientist at the University of California, Ajit Varki, has just launched a research program. The great parity that exists between man and the genres of chimpanzees prays very much the differences. Thus, start with the hope that new ways of remediation against current diseases can be addressed.
