Species of Homologous Genes	*Human*	-	16325/73.0%	10498/84.0%

The homolog data table files for each of the baseline species were queried to find the total number of genes along with the number of homologous genes that are present in another given species' genome. Similarly the homologene.data file was used to generate the homologene statistics. Shown are the number of homologs and the percentage of coverage (the number of genes that have homologs in a particular species' genome divided by the total number of genes for the baseline species.)
