If all the letters were printed out, it would fill a stack of books as high as the Washington Monument.
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.
The Human Genome Project initially estimated it would take 15 years to complete the sequencing of the human genome when it began in 1990. However, the project was completed ahead of schedule in 2003, taking only 13 years to finish.
The complementary nucleotide sequence to a sticky end sequence on human DNA would be its reverse complement sequence. For example, if the sticky end sequence is "AATT", its complementary sequence would be "TTAA".
E.G.--- If the Human Genome Projsect was completed, we would be much closer to a cure for cancer, saving many lives!
The HIV virus is an RNA virus, so you know the sequence AUCUU is the RNA sequence. (You also know it is RNA because it contains uracil.) HIV is a retrovirus, so its RNA will be transcribed to DNA by the enzyme reverse transcriptase and then inserted into the host's genome. The RNA sequence of AUCUU would be transcribed to TAGTT.
Genome is the term used to describe the entire DNA of a organism. For instance, if referring to the entire DNA in a human, you would call it: 'the human genome."

A distinguished scientist, William A. Haseltine founded Human Genome Sciences (HGSI) to sequence the DNA in human genes, boasting that his activities would lead to the immediate development of an array of new drugs for treating diseases
The Human Genome Project. I would like to dedicate this answer to Trinity School! -God Bless-
AnswerThe human genome is made up of DNA, which has four different chemical building blocks. These are called bases and abbreviated A, T, C, and G. In the human genome, about 3 billion bases are arranged along the chromosomes in a particular order for each unique individual. It's also important to mention that not all of those bases serve a known function. Humans have about 30,000 protein coding genes, which comprise only 2% of our genome but form the builiding blocks of all our cells. The other 98% is made up of elements such as miRNA which regulate how the protein coding genes function. Only a few years ago it was thought most of the DNA in the human genome was junk (repetative waste accumulated over evolution that cluttered the genome) It is now becoming clear that at least 80% of the genome is transcribed and may therefore be of some involved in how our bodies function.To get an idea of the size of the human genome present in each of our cells, consider the following analogy: If the DNA sequence of the human genome were compiled in books, the equivalent of 200 volumes the size of a Manhattan telephone book (at 1000 pages each) would be needed to hold it all.It would take about 9.5 years to read out loud (without stopping) the 3 billion bases in a person's genome sequence. This is calculated on a reading rate of 10 bases per second, equaling 600 bases/minute, 36,000 bases/hour, 864,000 bases/day, 315,360,000 bases/year.Storing all this information is a great challenge to computer experts known as bioinformatics specialists. One million bases (called a megabase and abbreviated Mb) of DNA sequence data is roughly equivalent to 1/4 megabyte of computer data storage space. Since the human genome is 3 billion base pairs long, 3/4 gigabytes of computer data storage space are needed to store the entire genome. This includes nucleotide sequence data only and does not include data annotations and other information that can be associated with sequence data.As time goes on, more annotations will be entered as a result of laboratory findings, literature searches, data analyses, personal communications, automated data-analysis programs, and auto annotators. These annotations associated with the sequence data will likely dwarf the amount of storage space actually taken up by the initial 3 billion nucleotide sequence. Of course, that's not much of a surprise because the sequence is merely one starting point for much deeper biological understanding!Remember that humans have a diploid genome thus our entire complement of DNA is composed of 6 billion bases; 3 billion from each parent.The reason for the Human Genome Project is to map out the human genome so as to find a way to prevent genetic disorders such as birth defects and so on.
The complementary nucleotide sequence to a sticky end sequence on human DNA would be its reverse complement sequence. For example, if the sticky end sequence is "AATT", its complementary sequence would be "TTAA".
If you have an interest in gene sequencing it would be a good idea to go take a medical course. Some of the places to learn would be a local college or a technical school. Might even be able to do it online.
THey would be great for doctors and anthropologists and anyone working with the human genome project
Go to Chernobyl and find out.
