A recent study updates the number of human genes to 19,000. This figure is 1,700 fewer than the genes in the most recent annotation, and well below the initial estimations of 100,000 genes. The work also concludes that almost all of these genes have ancestors prior to the appearance of primates 50 million years ago.
