Numbers and Genetics (will update time to time)
Human genome;
1. ~3,000*10^6 bases
(just remember that it is around 1 CD capacity - 3-4GB)
2. ~20,000 Protein coding genes
3. ~1% of genome --Protein coding exons
human SNP;
bases change in every 1000 bases
therefore, human SNPs (3000*10^6)/1000 = 3 millions (3*10^6)
Genome different within the species (except twins)
99.9% identical
PS.There is a group of people interested in the same thing;
