DNA Structure

In humans our DNA is in 46 pieces, our chromosomes One complete set DNA molecules makes up a “genome.” This has 3 billion base pairs, ~25,000 genes. Over 95% of our DNA is not in genes.

Most occurred thousands of years ago.

SNPs Humans are genetically >99 per cent identical: it is the 1% than make us different. Much of our genetic variation is caused by SNPs. Each of us has a unique genotype that typically differs in about three million nucleotides from every other person. SNPs occur about once every 300-1000 base pairs in the genome, and tend to remain stable. Because only about 3 to 5 percent of a person's DNA sequence codes for the production of proteins, most SNPs are found outside of "coding sequences".

Shared ancestry is indicated by shared clusters of SNPs CGGGTTAAGCTGGGCTAATCGCGTATAGGCTAATTTTTGCTAAAGGGCGCGTGATGCAA 1 2 3 4 5 Person # “haplotype” is a shared cluster of SNPs
