The number of pseudogenes in the human genome is on the order of 13,000, [25] and in some chromosomes is nearly the same as the number of functional protein-coding genes. Gene duplication is a major mechanism through which new genetic material is generated during molecular evolution .
There are two distinctive mapping approaches used in the field of genome mapping: genetic maps (also known as linkage maps) [7] and physical maps. [3] While both maps are a collection of genetic markers and gene loci, [8] genetic maps' distances are based on the genetic linkage information, while physical maps use actual physical distances usually measured in number of base pairs.
In genetics, a morbid map is a chart or diagram of diseases and the chromosomal location of genes the diseases are associated with. A morbid map exists as an appendix of the Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) knowledgebase, listing chromosomes and the genes mapped to specific sites on those chromosomes, and this format most clearly reveals the relationship between gene and phenotype.
Chromosome 20 is one of the 23 pairs of chromosomes in humans. ... The following is a partial list of genes on human chromosome 20. ... Band length in this diagram is ...
The metaphase chromosomes are treated with trypsin (to partially digest the chromosome) and stained with Giemsa stain. Heterochromatic regions, which tend to be rich with adenine and thymine (AT-rich) DNA and relatively gene-poor, stain more darkly in G-banding.

Diagram of a duplicated and condensed eukaryotic chromosome. (1) Chromatid – one of the two identical parts of the chromosome after S phase. (2) Centromere – the point where the two chromatids touch, and where the microtubules attach. (3) Short arm (p). (4) Long arm (q).
The International System for Human Cytogenomic Nomenclature (ISCN; previously the International System for Human Cytogenetic Nomenclature) is an international standard for human chromosome nomenclature, which includes band names, symbols, and abbreviated terms used in the description of human chromosome and chromosome abnormalities.
