Yes, in 1996, with over 5000 gene markers, and over 200 genes shown to be associated with certain diseases. The HUGO (Human Genome Organization) monitors the activities surrounding this.

What does complete genome sequence mean?

The complete genome sequence is the classification of an organisms deoxyribonucleic acid sequence in a certain time. The classification of our DNA would help to understand the functions of our body and provide answers to diseases that affect and cause the mutation of the DNA.

How does genome give you a clue about what genomic means?

Genome refers to an organism's complete set of genetic material, encompassing all of its genes. Genomic, on the other hand, pertains to the field of study that focuses on the structure, function, evolution, and mapping of genomes. In essence, genome provides the foundation for understanding the concept of genomic.


Can you put your genome into the public domain without having it sequenced?

Not clear why you would think your genome is not ALREADY "public domain". It cannot be copyrighted or patented, being comprised of naturally occurring chemicals in a naturally occurring configuration.


Were scientists correct in their estimate of how many genes would be identified during the human genome project Why or why not?

No,the scientists were not correct in their estimate of how many genes would be identified during the human genome project because they had identified an estimated 30,000 genes (instead of the expected 100,000), constituting just 1% of the total human.


How many nucleotides are in your bodies?

The [haploid] human genome contains about 3 x 10E9 nucleotide pairs and that's just in one cell, so we are looking at an extremely large number when you take into consideration all of the cells in your body. That doesn't include the nucleotides that are part of the RNA/protein synthesis apparatus, which comprise another formidable quantity in each cell. I'm just guessing now, but I would say it would have to be in the 10E15 - 10E20 range.
