    Hi!

    Sorry to pop up on this threat like this but I had to temporarily
    unsubscribe from the list.

    Robert, can you repeat the reference to this revised number of human genes?
    Also, do you know if human coding regions are bigger than that of other
    species? For instance, we may have twice as many genes than bread mold but
    our genes may be twice as big and therefore have twice as many functions.
    Just wondering.

    All the best.
