Witte Exhibit – Genome
How timely is this? The Witte is now running an exhibit on the human genome.
Compare genomes. You share this percentage of your genes with other organisms…
- human to yeast about 30%
- human to worm about 40%
- human to banana about 50%
- human to fruit fly about 60%
- human to mouse about 90%
- human to chimp about 98.4%
- human to human about 99.9% (except for twins, whose genes are 100% identical)
