Commonly expressed genes between octopuses and humans. (A) Comparing 1052 nonredundant genes expressed in octopus-eye ESTs with the 13,303 gene set (data from NEIbank, MGC, BodyMap) expressed in human eyes, 729 genes were detected as the commonly expressed genes between octopus and human eyes. (B) In all, 162 genes are commonly expressed between octopus and human eyes (data from only BodyMap), whereas only 44 genes are commonly expressed between octopus eyes and human connective tissue (data from BodyMap).
