HERE ARE THE FACTS ABOUT GENETICS
- The structure of DNA was discovered in 1953.
- If you unraveled all the chromosomes from all of your cells and placed the DNA end to end, the strands would stretch from the Earth to the moon about 6,000 times
- We have 30,000- 40,000 genes, each with coding for important functions.
- The language of the genome is comprised of four letters:
These letters are scrambled several million times to make the genetic code.
- The Human Genome Project has a complete catalogue of the Human Genome. This catalogue will be the size several hundred average-sized telephone books and will have the letters A, T, G, C in various permutations and combinations.
- Finding every gene in the human body is like finding details on every person in every country of the world.
- We still don't know the function of more than 80 per cent of our DNA
