Whole-genome shotgun sequencing reads from the chimpanzee genome-sequencing project were independently mapped onto the human genome by Pash, BLAT, and BLAST. BLAST mappings to a single unambiguous location were used as a reference for comparison. Because chimpanzees are closely related to humans, Pash was employed in a high-speed/low-sensitivity mode (see Adjustable Speed/Sensitivity Tradeoff for details).
