As of April 2003 researchers estimated that building a human would require only about 24,500 genes (the Mustard Seed plant has about 25,000 and fruit flies about 13,000). When analysis of the draft human genome sequence was published in February 2001, there was estimated to be only about 30,000 to 40,000 protein-coding genes. This number will probably fluctuate as applications of the HGP are implemented

How knowing about genes can help to understand how people are affected by certain diseases?
