   It should probably be mentioned here that animal genomes don't really have the sort of scaling properties humans like to imagine, where the human must be the crowning achievement. That is to say, "they only managed to clone a sheep, that's *far* from a human!" is not actually true. A sheep's genome is only slightly smaller than a human's, and has similar overall complexity. A rat's is within striking range of a human's, too.

   A saltwater crocodile's genome is arguably *more* complex than a human's: it has slightly fewer base pairs, but it has a *far* smaller proportion of "junk DNA", repetitive sequences that don't code for anything.

   There are single-celled lifeforms that have over 200 times larger genomes than human beings do.
