    This document lists key statistics about the genome size, estimated number of genes, gene density, and number of chromosomes for several common model organisms including human, mouse, cow, fruit fly, plant, roundworm, yeast, E. coli, and H. influenzae bacteria. The human genome is estimated to contain around 3 billion base pairs and 31,000 genes distributed across 23 chromosome pairs, while smaller prokaryotic genomes like E. coli and H. influenzae contain only 1.8 and 1.7 million base pairs respectively.
