The Human Genome Project
A genome is the complete set of chromosomes in a gamete or microorganism. It is also the same in every cell of a multicellular organism, like a human.
Genome anatomy refers to the physical structure and organization of an organism's genome, including the arrangement of genes, non-coding DNA, and other regulatory elements on chromosomes. It encompasses the study of the size, structure, and function of the genome at a molecular level. Understanding genome anatomy is crucial for identifying genes, studying gene expression, and investigating genetic variations within a species.
