Abstract

[A gene is a discrete segment of DNA existing as an expression unit (see Section 1.1). A DNA molecule may consist of many genes. For example, in bacteriophage λ, all the genetic information is stored in a single DNA molecule with 48.5 kb, consisting of 60 genes. In humans, the genetic information is stored in 46 DNA molecules organized as 23 pairs of chromosomes, amounting to a total of 3.2 × 109 bp, and estimated ∼31,000 genes (see Section 1.4).]
