I share a certain number of genes with my mother, alas.
Any number of human genes can now be transferred to other animals.
The total number of human genes is estimated at between 60,000 and 120,000.
And the number of genes that need be tested may also shrink.
The number of essential genes is different for each organism.
For instance, the number of genes has turned out to be lower than expected.
It is now not so clear that the real number of human genes will be known any time soon.
While no one gene is responsible for the disease, a large number of possible genes have been identified.
In humans, a relatively small number of genes are thought to be responsible for human skin color.
Figure 5illustrates the relationship between adjusted p values and the number of genes being tested.
