About 99% of mouse genes have a homolog in the human genome, and for 80% of these genes, the best match in the human genome has, in turn, its best match against the orthologous mouse gene in the conserved syntenic interval.
(Protein creation is, after all, the raison dâÃªtre of DNA.) The results, as you might imagine, are complicated, since these genetic pathways govern every aspect of biology. Scientists found that in some ways, mice are more similar to humans than previously thought, and in other ways are more different. For example, a mouse liver cell is more similar to a mouse brain cell than it is to a human liver cell (at least in terms of protein type and quantity), Beer notes. And mouse immune systems are even more distinctive than previously thought, he says, which could have implications for scientists looking to apply immunological mouse research to humans. But in other ways, especially in the genetic mechanisms within a cellâs nuclei, we are very similar.
