The new work suggests that neither genome has changed much since we shared a common ancestor 100 million years ago. "The differences are going to be few rather than many," says Richard Mural of Celera Genomics, the Maryland company that compared the mouse chromosome with human DNA. If that's the best argument anybody can make for evolution these days, then desparation has really set it.

Each time we think we are close to discovering the secrets of life and the universe we end up finding out that we know less than we ever knew.Some seem to take this sentiment to heart. As if it'san excuse to throw our hands in the air and shake our heads and cry, "It's too hard; we'll never know! Now hand me that bag of corn chips and pass the remote. I can't be bothered to learn any more."

While others who may only know much about one item claim to understand everything while smugly eating their bag of chips
Just keeping things in perspective. (now where did I put that remote control?

Seems like quite a bit has changed in the last 14 years.

from 2002 article:
"Mice and men share about 97.5 per cent of their working DNA, just one per cent less than chimps and humans." Again, results depend on exactly what & how you measure.
This site from 2009 says:
- 75% of mouse genes have equivalents in humans (source),
- 90% of the mouse genome could be lined up with a region on the human genome (source)
- 99% of mouse genes turn out to have analogues in humans (source)

If this is truly a family site, we might as well get rid of most of the Bill Clinton threads, too.

I was thinking... when did I post this article and then I saw the year. There are a few old names in this thread. Thanks for the memories!
