Document Summary

The sequenced part of the human genome is about 2. 85 gigabases. The true size of the genome is thought to be about 3. 08 gigabases. 55% of the genome are non-transposable elements. 45% of the genome are different types of transposable elements. This does not include the other repetitive regions that couldn"t be sequenced. The vast majority of our genome is not human genes. Repetitive transposable elements make up 45% of our genome. Human genes (e. g. , protein coding genes) make up 1. 5% of our genome. Slide 10 types of repetitive dna sequences. There are two major types of repetitive elements in our genome. They are divided up based on the pattern of their distribution in the genome. Tandemly repeated sequences are (many) repeats beside each other. Interspersed repeated sequences are repeats that appear here and there amongst the unique part of the genome. Tandem repeats are largely categorized based on size.
