Unique fraction of the human genome

Question 1

Are all human genes the same size?

Answer 1

Nope. Range from some tRNA genes that are less than 100 bp to dystrophin that is 2.5 million base pairs

Question 2

What is the relationship between exonic contribution and gene size?

Answer 2

Negative linear relationship. The larger the gene, the less exonic contribution

Question 3

What is exonic contribution?

Answer 3

How much of a gene is actually coding the protein

Question 4

Are human genes equally spread across the genome?

Answer 4

Nope

Question 5

Which regions of the genome are most genes located?

Answer 5

G/C rich regions (R-bands), and subtelomeric regions

Question 6

Which regions of the genome have low gene density?

Answer 6

Centromeric regions and A/T rich regions (G-bands)
