    This abstract/article suggests that the standard convention
    of 98.5% identity between human and chimpanzee genomes needs
    to be dropped to 95% due to insertions and deletions.

    Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 2002 Oct 15;99(21):13633-5
    Divergence between samples of chimpanzee and human DNA sequences is
    5%, counting indels.
