As researchers learn more about the functions of genes and proteins, this knowledge will have a major impact in the fields of medicine, biotechnology, and the life sciences. brendon_dsouza https://padlet.com/brendon_dsouza/uuvfkqo2r6ab/wish/181972425 2017-08-21 23:06:58 UTC https://padlet.com/brendon_dsouza/uuvfkqo2r6ab/wish/181972425 What did the HGP teach us? callanmcivor https://padlet.com/brendon_dsouza/uuvfkqo2r6ab/wish/181972554 We know not that our genome contains about 3.2 billion A,C,G  and T bases.
An averaged sized gene has about 3000 of these bases, although some genes are bigger than others.
This biggest known human gene, dystrophin is made up of about 2.4 million bases.
  • Also told us that that Chromosome 1 contains the most genes, 3168, while the Y chromosome has the fewest, about 344.
  • Every person, apart from identical twins, has a unique genome, but the genomes of all members of the human species Homo sapiens share many similarities 
  • It is estimated that the genomes of two unrelated people will on average have about three million differences
  • This may sound a lot, they differ by only one base pair in a thousand, or 0.1 per cent. Put another way, the genomes of two unrelated people are 99.9 per cent the same

The Human Genome Project also gave us more detailed information about chromosomes. It turns out that chromosome 1 contains the most genes – 3168, while the Y chromosome has the fewest – about 344. brendon_dsouza https://padlet.com/brendon_dsouza/uuvfkqo2r6ab/wish/181972700 2017-08-21 23:09:41 UTC https://padlet.com/brendon_dsouza/uuvfkqo2r6ab/wish/181972700 The main goals of the Human Genome Project were to provide a complete and accurate sequence of the 3 billion DNA base pairs that make up the human genome and to find all of the estimated 20,000 to 25,000 human genes. brendon_dsouza https://padlet.com/brendon_dsouza/uuvfkqo2r6ab/wish/181972721 2017-08-21 23:10:06 UTC https://padlet.com/brendon_dsouza/uuvfkqo2r6ab/wish/181972721 griffin_terry https://padlet.com/brendon_dsouza/uuvfkqo2r6ab/wish/181972998 2017-08-21 23:13:23 UTC https://padlet.com/brendon_dsouza/uuvfkqo2r6ab/wish/181972998 matthew_tomlinson https://padlet.com/brendon_dsouza/uuvfkqo2r6ab/wish/181973214 2017-08-21 23:16:13 UTC https://padlet.com/brendon_dsouza/uuvfkqo2r6ab/wish/181973214 brendon_dsouza https://padlet.com/brendon_dsouza/uuvfkqo2r6ab/wish/181973262 2017-08-21 23:16:53 UTC https://padlet.com/brendon_dsouza/uuvfkqo2r6ab/wish/181973262 brendon_dsouza https://padlet.com/brendon_dsouza/uuvfkqo2r6ab/wish/181973556 2017-08-21 23:20:02 UTC https://padlet.com/brendon_dsouza/uuvfkqo2r6ab/wish/181973556 matthew_tomlinson https://padlet.com/brendon_dsouza/uuvfkqo2r6ab/wish/181974145 2017-08-21 23:26:43 UTC https://padlet.com/brendon_dsouza/uuvfkqo2r6ab/wish/181974145 matthew_tomlinson https://padlet.com/brendon_dsouza/uuvfkqo2r6ab/wish/181974159 2017-08-21 23:26:57 UTC https://padlet.com/brendon_dsouza/uuvfkqo2r6ab/wish/181974159
