humans (Figure 1C; Table S1).

shared between
human and mouse, these genes are likely to have divergent expression patterns between both species.
Whilst genetic similarity to
humans is high in non-human primates, it is also high in less developed species; for instance, we
share 96 % of our DNA with
mice, 70 % with fruit flies,
and indeed 50 % with crops such as bananas.
