2. Human genetic variation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_genetic_variation

   The distribution of many physical traits resembles the distribution of genetic variation within and between human populations (American Association of Physical Anthropologists 1996; Keita and Kittles 1997). For example, ~90% of the variation in human head shapes occurs within continental groups, and ~10% separates groups, with a greater ...

3. Human genetics - Wikipedia

   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.

4. Human genome - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_genome

   Gene duplication is a major mechanism through which new genetic material is generated during molecular evolution. For example, the olfactory receptor gene family is one of the best-documented examples of pseudogenes in the human genome. More than 60 percent of the genes in this family are non-functional pseudogenes in humans.

5. Human Y-chromosome DNA haplogroup - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_Y-chromosome_DNA_ha...

   Genetic genealogy. In human genetics, a human Y-chromosome DNA haplogroup is a haplogroup defined by specific mutations in the non- recombining portions of DNA on the male-specific Y chromosome (Y-DNA). Individuals within a haplogroup share similar numbers of short tandem repeats (STRs) and single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). [2]

6. Lists of human genes - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_human_genes

   Human chromosomes, each of which contains an incomplete list of genes located on that chromosome, are as follows: Chromosome 1. Chromosome 2. Chromosome 3. Chromosome 4. Chromosome 5. Chromosome 6.

7. Outline of genetics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_genetics

   The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to genetics: . Genetics – science of genes, heredity, and variation in living organisms. [1] [2] Genetics deals with the molecular structure and function of genes, and gene behavior in context of a cell or organism (e.g. dominance and epigenetics), patterns of inheritance from parent to offspring, and gene distribution ...
