ONLY 26,000 GENES. “There is good evidence for 26,383 protein-coding genes, according to J. Craig Venter and colleagues at Celera Genomics. Based on a combination of computer data and human analysis, there is some evidence that the genome may contain another 12,731 or so genes, but it is too early to know for sure; some of the predicted genes may be overestimates.”
