Five hundred eighty-three hCONDEL regions present in chimpanzee were BLASTED against the Neanderthal and Denisovan genomes, for which there were 287 nCONDELs and dCONDELs. The number of motifs (length 6–10 bp) present in Neanderthal and Denisovan are given, as well as the number of motifs present in both species or unique to either Neanderthal or Denisovan
