Is human DNA and chimpanzee DNA 98 per cent identical?

The commonly quoted number is 98.6% genetic relatedness. This is technically correct since our genes are nearly 99% identical. However, this number does not take into account gene duplication and the specific proteins produced by these similar genes. If these are accounted for, the number is more like 94%. This new figure is based on a new method of measurement that was reported in a 2006 paper. I would actually like to see this method used on all other figures. For instance, the results of the bonobo genome project shows we share 98.7% of our DNA. I'm sure this number would be more like 93 point something percent since the project showed bonobos and chimps share 99.6% of their DNA. It is important to note that, despite the change in percentage, chimps are still our closest living animal relatives.
