Of the 731 genes they located on the mouse chromosome, only 14 did not have a doppelganger in humans. Likewise, there were only 21 genes in the corresponding regions of human DNA that did not turn up in the mouse.

We'll see where this leads. Right now according to those numbers and the one mouse chromosome being analyzed. The difference is just ~2.5% if you divide 35/2 by 731. Suddenly the neighborhood is crowded.

Human brains over chimp

Dramatic differences in gene activity distinguish human and chimpanzee brains, say researchers. The difference may explain our differing behaviour and looks, despite sharing 98.7% of our DNA.

And Craig Venter looks more and more correct in his statement --- My view of biology is 'We don't know shit.' "

Yes, it is funny that 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. Until recently we thought that genes were the key to all human functions, now we have found that it is the 95% of DNA which the know-nothing evolutionists had been calling 'junk DNA' is where the real secrets are (and when we find those we surely will find something else even more astonishing that we do not know).
