Write the salient features of HGP

Explanation

Salient features of HGP :
The human genome comprised of 3164.7 million nucleotide bases.
Human genome contains 30,000 genes.
Each gene consist of an average 3000 bases.
Functions of 50% of genes discovered are unknown.
All proteins are coded by less than 2% of the genome.
majority of the genome consisted by repeated sequences.
chromosome one has highest number of genes i.e, 2,968 genes and Y chromosome has the fewest genes i.e., 231 genes
It is also identified that 1.4 millions locations, where single base DNA difference (SNPs) occurs in humans. This information promises to revolutionise the process of finding chromosomal locations, for disease associated sequences and tracing human history.
