Abstract:
In June 26, 2000, doctor Collins and Venter released the results of research of human genome. As the results, the human genome has 3.12 billion nucleotides (nu) of which the sequence of 97% nucleotides were identified. There were 60.000 -100.000 genes found among 3.12 billion nucleotides. The human genome is identical from one to another (99.9%) although there is a difference of races, skin color. Genome is a foundation of the biology and considered as an electronic central nerve of the cells. The basic techniques for research on genes comprise the DNA recombination, chemical analysis (MAXAM GILBERT) and method SANGER.
