A comparison of the similarity of the human and mouse genomes, as presented by Craig Venter

Organism
Approximate number of high confidence genes
Percent homologs

New human sequence assembly
25,000
94.5
Mouse
23,000
96.6

The percent homologs column indicates the percentage of human genes that have homologs in the mouse genome and vice versa.
