What If There Are Only 30,000 Human Genes?

Claverie, Jean-Michel·2001·Science

Abstract

The complete assembly of the entire human genome sequence by Venter et al. confirms recent estimates that the total number of human protein coding genes might be less than 30,000--a mere one-third increase over the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. Such a low gene number constitutes a paradigm change, which could drastically modify our understanding of organism complexity and evolution, as well as our current interpretation of transcriptome analyses. It may also have severe consequences on the long-term sustainability of the biomedical industry in the postgenomic era.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
