Researchers trim count of human genes to 20,000-25,000

And the rest is junk -- about 38.5 million, from my guess out of reading the article.  Plenty of room!  Therefore, the Cobrawolf gengineering techniques of optimizing a person's DNA like it was a hard drive and using the resulting space to code up shapeshifters is rather plausible.

Actually, a lot of the data is the same between humans as well. A lot of mutations were lost about 74,000 years ago when the human race was nearly wiped out.
