Conclusion

Several important genomes have been sequenced, revealing insights into gene counts and relationships among species.

The complete genome of Sulfolobus tokodaii strain7 was sequenced, revealing its potential relationship to eukaryotes.
The genome of Yersinia pestis was sequenced, showing its evolution from a benign bacterium.
A draft genome sequence of Fugu rubripes was completed, aiding in gene detection.
Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium's genome was sequenced, highlighting gene loss in related bacteria.
New analyses suggest the human genome may contain more genes than previously estimated.

Scientists have been studying the DNA of different organisms to understand how many genes they have and how they are related to each other.
