Chimpanzee Pan troglodytes 20,000-25,000 genes (same as human)

There are just 50 human genes with no known homolog in chimps. Of the protein-coding genes in the human and chimp genomes, one-third have identical sequences.

Mouse Mus musculus

20,000-25,000 genes (same as human)

The average mouse gene is about 85% similar to its human homolog.

Zebra fish Danio rerio 25,000 genes

Scientists routinely transfer human genes into zebra fish and study their functions.

Fruit fly Drosophila Melanogaster 13,600 genes

Approximately 60% of known human disease genes have a counterpart in the fruit fly.

Round worm Caenorhabditis elegans 19,100 genes

Earliest organism with a central nervous system. Shares about 21% of its genes with humans.
