Genome

The genome is a complete set of hereditary factors contained in the haploid set of chromosomes. The genome includes all of the DNA of an organism, both protein-coding and non-coding. The human genome consists of approximately 3 billion base pairs and contains about 20-25 thousand genes. Each person's genome is unique, with the exception of identical twins. Studying the genome makes it possible to understand the mechanisms of heredity and development of diseases, as well as to develop personalized approaches to treatment. Decoding the human genome in the early 2000s became one of the most important achievements in biology and medicine.



The human genome is the totality of hereditary information from all cells of the body. It includes all the genetic data needed to create the human body, including anatomy and physiology, as well as functions related to how genes work. It contains information about our heritage, origins and future.

The genome consists of DNA sequences that are composed of nucleotides with cytosine, guanine, adenine and thymine. Nucleoti
