  2. Human genome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_genome

    The human genome has many different regulatory sequences which are crucial to controlling gene expression. Conservative estimates indicate that these sequences make up 8% of the genome, [29] however extrapolations from the ENCODE project give that 20 [30] or more [31] of the genome is gene regulatory sequence.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_genetics

    The human genome is the total collection of genes in a human being contained in the human chromosome, composed of over three billion nucleotides. [2] In April 2003, the Human Genome Project was able to sequence all the DNA in the human genome, and to discover that the human genome was composed of around 20,000 protein coding genes.

    The first genome to be sequenced was that of the virus φX174 in 1977; [4] the first genome sequence of a prokaryote (Haemophilus influenzae) was published in 1995; [5] the yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) genome was the first eukaryotic genome to be sequenced in 1996. [6]

    •List of human protein-coding genes page 4 covers genes SLC17A8–ZZZ3 NB: Each list page contains 5000 human protein-coding genes, sorted alphanumerically by the HGNC-approved gene symbol. Follow the Python code link for information about updates to the list of genes on these pages.

  6. Human genetic variation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_genetic_variation

    In 2015, the 1000 Genomes Project, which sequenced one thousand individuals from 26 human populations, found that "a typical [individual] genome differs from the reference human genome at 4.1 million to 5.0 million sites … affecting 20 million bases of sequence"; the latter figure corresponds to 0.6% of total number of base pairs. [2]

    As an example, one allele for the gene for hair color could instruct the body to produce much pigment, producing black hair, while a different allele of the same gene might give garbled instructions that fail to produce any pigment, giving white hair. Mutations are random changes in genes and can create new alleles. Mutations can also produce ...

    The research in Science found that genetic variants inherited from our Neanderthal ancestors are unevenly distributed across the human genome. Some regions, which the scientists call “archaic ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-value_paradox

    The share of the human genome that may be considered "junk" remains controversial. Estimates reach as low as 8% [ 13 ] and as high as 80%, [ 14 ] with one researcher arguing that there is a fixed ceiling of 15% imposed by the genome's genetic load . [ 15 ] (
