How big is the human genome?
----------------------------------------------
You may have heard of the recently completed "human genome project,"
a monumental project undertaken to decode the entire DNA sequence of
a human being (the human genome). Just how big is that sequence?
Each human cell contains 46 chromosomes, each of which is a DNA
molecule wrapped around proteins called histones. If all the DNA
molecules in one cell were unwrapped from the histones and stretched
out end-to-end, the total length would be about six feet (2 meters).
Almost every cell in your body contains six feet of DNA, wrapped up
into a very compact space.
If all the information in the human genome were printed in small
type, it would fill a thousand thick telephone directories. The
whole sequence contains about three billion base pairs (the genetic
equivalent of alphabet letters), including some 50,000 - 100,000
genes, each of which codes for a specific protein.
