Both the number of base pairs and the number of genes vary widely from one species to another, and there is only a rough correlation between the two (an observation known as the C-value paradox). At present, the highest known number of genes is around 60,000, for the protozoan causing <answer>trichomoniasis</answer> (see List of sequenced eukaryotic genomes), almost three times as many as in the human genome.
