SURPRISE. “One of the perhaps most surprising results of the genome-sequencing projects was that the number of genes is much lower than had been expected and is, in fact, surprisingly similar for very different organisms. For example, the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans appears to have a similar number of genes as humans, whereas rice and maize appear to have even more genes than humans.”
