comparison of mouse- and human genomes
With first comparative look at human and mouse DNA, joint genome institute team confirms gene estimate Earlier this year, researchers mapping the human genome estimated that human DNA contains about 30,000 genes. Now, based on the first-ever look at comparable sections of human and mouse DNA, a team of Walnut Creek-based Joint Genome Institute (JGI) scientists has confirmed that estimate as roughly accurate.
