Figure 17: Taxonomic breakdown of homologues of mouse proteins according to taxonomic range.
From: Initial sequencing and comparative analysis of the mouse genome
Note that only a small fraction of genes are possibly rodent-specific (<1%) as compared with those shared with other mammals (14%, not rodent-specific); shared with chordates (6%, not mammalian-specific); shared with metazoans (27%, not chordate-specific); shared with eukaryotes (29%, not metazoan-specific); and shared with prokaryotes and other organisms (23%, not eukaryotic-specific).
