About 99 percent of genes in humans have counterparts in the mouse. Eighty percent have identical, one-to-one counterparts.

Having a sequence of the human genome is good, but our ability to interpret it was limited. The mouse sequence provides, for the first time, an ability to determine what matters and what doesn't in the human genome.

We're living through a historic revolution in biology.

This is telling us about those changes that make us human.

Evolutionary analysis is a handmaiden to human medicine.

That's a very specific prediction.
