Recent Progress in Human Genome

Human genome refers to the complete set of genetic data in an organism. It is the full set of nucleic acid sequences in human beings that are encoded as deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), inside the twenty three pairs of chromosomes in cell nuclei along with the DNA molecule present inside the mitochondria. The mitochondrial genome and the nuclear genome are often considered separate. Noncoding sequences of DNA are also found in the human genome, along with coding DNA sequences. Understanding the development of the human genome can help in providing data on human evolution. This formed the basis of the Human Genome Project. It was focused on decoding chemical sequence that underlies the human genome and identifying all the genes that are there in the genome. This book unravels the recent studies in the field of human genome sequencing and research. Researchers and students engaged in the study of the human genome will assisted by it.
