The water flea species Daphnia pulex is barely more than a millimeter long, is completely translucent, has no clear divisions between their various body parts...and has the largest genome of any animal we've ever encountered. It has an incredible 31,000 genes in its genome, over 8,000 more than humans have. (Feb 2011)
A new gene can be inserted into an animal's genome through genetic engineering techniques, such as gene editing or transgenesis. These techniques can replace a faulty gene with a functional one, or introduce a completely new gene into the genome. Additionally, gene therapy can be used to deliver therapeutic genes into an animal's cells to treat genetic disorders.
CRISPR cuts in specific locations in the genome during gene editing.
The average gene length in a typical human genome is about 27,000 base pairs.
Humans have two copies of each gene in their genome, one inherited from each parent.
The animal with the highest percentage of similarity to the human genome is the chimpanzee.

order from largest to smallest: gene, genome, chromosome, DNA, gene pool
Smallest to largest: Gene (a place on a chromosome); chromosome (there are 46 in human cells); and DNA (because it accounts for all the genetic material in a cell).
nucleus → chromosome → gene
genome -> chromosome -> DNA -> gene

Other than the specific human genome and resulting gene expression of the cell, there is no difference. Humans are simply one kind of animal.
