  2. Chromosome 3 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromosome_3

    Chromosome 3 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 3 spans more than 198 million base pairs (the building material of DNA ) and represents about 6.5 percent of the total DNA in cells .

    [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 2023). It consists of 22 autosomes plus one copy of the X chromosome and one copy of the Y chromosome.

  5. Chromatin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromatin

    Through altering the chromatin structure, histones residues are adding chemical groups namely phosphate, acetyl and one or more methyl groups and these control the expressions of gene building by proteins to acquire DNA. [31] Moreover, resynthesis of the delighted zone, DNA will be repaired by processing and restructuring the damaged bases.

  6. Genetic linkage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_linkage

    In the early stages of developing a linkage map, the data are used to assemble linkage groups, a set of genes which are known to be linked. As knowledge advances, more markers can be added to a group, until the group covers an entire chromosome. [6] For well-studied organisms the linkage groups correspond one-to-one with the chromosomes.

  7. Histone H3 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Histone_H3

    Di- and Tri-methylation of lysine 9 are associated with repression and heterochromatin (see H3K9me2 and H3K9me3), while mono-methylation of K4 (K4 corresponds to lysine residue at 4th position)(see H3K4me1), is associated with active genes. [3] [4] Acetylation of histone H3 at several lysine positions in the histone tail is performed by histone ...

  8. Locus (genetics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locus_(genetics)

    In genetics, a locus (pl.: loci) is a specific, fixed position on a chromosome where a particular gene or genetic marker is located. [1] Each chromosome carries many genes, with each gene occupying a different position or locus; in humans, the total number of protein-coding genes in a complete haploid set of 23 chromosomes is estimated at ...
