  2. Human genome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_genome

    In 2021, scientists reported sequencing a complete, female genome (i.e., without the Y chromosome). [4] [3] The human Y chromosome, consisting of 62,460,029 base pairs from a different cell line and found in all males, was sequenced completely in January 2022. [5] The current version of the standard reference genome is called GRCh38.p14 (July ...

  3. Genome size - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genome_size

    Genome size ranges (in base pairs) of various life forms. Genome size is the total amount of DNA contained within one copy of a single complete genome.It is typically measured in terms of mass in picograms (trillionths (10 −12) of a gram, abbreviated pg) or less frequently in daltons, or as the total number of nucleotide base pairs, usually in megabases (millions of base pairs, abbreviated ...

    Chromosome 22 is one of the 23 pairs of chromosomes in human cells. Humans normally have two copies of chromosome 22 in each cell. Humans normally have two copies of chromosome 22 in each cell. Chromosome 22 is the second smallest human chromosome, spanning about 51 million DNA base pairs and representing between 1.5 and 2% of the total DNA in ...

  6. Y chromosome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y_chromosome

    The human Y chromosome is composed of about 62 million base pairs of DNA, making it similar in size to chromosome 19 and represents almost 2% of the total DNA in a male cell. [ 54 ] [ 55 ] The human Y chromosome carries 693 genes , 107 of which are protein-coding . [ 56 ]

  7. Comparative genomic hybridization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparative_genomic...

    The authors painted a series of individual human chromosomes from a DNA library with two different fluorophores in different proportions to test the technique, and also applied CGH to genomic DNA from patients affected with either Downs syndrome or T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia as well as cells of a renal papillary carcinoma cell line. It was ...

  8. Polysomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polysomy

    Trisomy 21 – Down syndrome, an example of a polysomy at chromosome 21. Polysomy is a condition found in many species, including fungi, plants, insects, and mammals, in which an organism has at least one more chromosome than normal, i.e., there may be three or more copies of the chromosome rather than the expected two copies. [1]

    Chromosome 10 is one of the 23 pairs of chromosomes in humans. People normally have two copies of this chromosome. People normally have two copies of this chromosome. Chromosome 10 spans about 134 million base pairs (the building material of DNA ) and represents between 4 and 4.5 percent of the total DNA in cells .
