Показать описание
December 2, 2019 - As a part of a hallway renovation, NHGRI Director, Eric Green illustrates the amazing scale of the human genome’s sequence of some 3 billion letters (i.e., bases). The nearly 100-foot wall was just the right size to display 1/1000th (or about 3 million letters) of the human genome sequence.

Working with Darryl Leja, Dr. Gerard Bouffard and colleagues at NCBI, the team implemented this vision, which includes an explanatory tutorial about cells, chromosomes, DNA and genes.

Wow this guy is really furious that couldn't put all the genome on the hallway ;)

Respectfully, boring to some, maybe ?
However not to me !
What's even more profound, as an example, is that there exists a flower, you know the species I'm referring too, that has 50 times more DNA then a human has.
What might those base pairs represent regarding intelligence, to say the least ?
