2. Human genome - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_genome

   The mitochondrial genome is shown to scale at bottom left. The human genome is a complete set of nucleic acid sequences for humans, encoded as DNA within the 23 chromosome pairs in cell nuclei and in a small DNA molecule found within individual mitochondria. These are usually treated separately as the nuclear genome and the mitochondrial genome ...

3. 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 ...

4. 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.

6. Human genetic variation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_genetic_variation

   Human genetic variation is the genetic differences in and among populations. There may be multiple variants of any given gene in the human population (alleles), a situation called polymorphism. No two humans are genetically identical. Even monozygotic twins (who develop from one zygote) have infrequent genetic differences due to mutations ...

8. Genetic genealogy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_genealogy

   Genetic genealogy is the use of genealogical DNA tests, i.e., DNA profiling and DNA testing, in combination with traditional genealogical methods, to infer genetic relationships between individuals. This application of genetics came to be used by family historians in the 21st century, as DNA tests became affordable.

9. Human Genome Project - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_Genome_Project

   Logo of the Human Genome Project. The Human Genome Project (HGP) was an international scientific research project with the goal of determining the base pairs that make up human DNA, and of identifying, mapping and sequencing all of the genes of the human genome from both a physical and a functional standpoint.
