Fathers are twice likely to pass on a genetic breast cancer mutation as Mothers.
Your human genome is a catalog of all the genetic information contained in your human cells. We all have from 25,000 to 40,000 genes - each gene is chemical part contributing to your life's biological processes.
Gen Connect scientist with genomics use unimagined detail to learn how the body grows and gets old,and why it stays healthy or falls ill. With this knowledge GenC gives doctors the ability to predict, early in life, a person's risk for disease.
GenConnect purpose is to decipher the human genome. Scientist and researchers can have access to Genc's breast cancer data by making the Genc scientific out comes available with a paid subscription to many universities.Our genetic makeup is not that different from that of other mammals. we have 300 genes that are not in mice, also there are 60 million DNA-letter differences between people and chimps.
We all are 99.9 percent identical. All of us are composed of an estimated 3 billion letters of DNA code, arranged in 23 pairs of long chains called chromosomes.
The human genome is composed of an estimated 3 billion letters of DNA code, arranged in 23 pairs of long chains called chromosomes. For an example a human male showing 46 chromosomes including XY sex chromosomes Humans
(Homo sapiens) are a eukaryotic species A human has 46 chromosomes (44 autosomes and 2 sex chromosomes with an XY sex determination system) At present estimate humans have approximately 20000-25000 genes Humans share 985% of their DNA with their closest living evolutionary relative the bonobos.
With all of this information Genc is able to extend life for many women with breast cancer.
