First analysis of chicken genome offers many new insights

analysis showed that chickens and humans share about 60 percent of their genes, as opposed to the approximately 88 percent shared by humans and rodents.

"The chicken is really in an evolutionary sweet spot," says Wilson. "It's at just the right evolutionary distance from all the other genomes we already have to provide us with a great deal of fresh insight into the human genome."
