Bioinformatics Genome : Manual of Life as it encodes, when, where, and which tissues and organs are to be made. Other than the genome, mitochondria also contain DNA, epigenetic information. The human genome is made up of stretches of only 4 nucleotides: ATGC Human Genome: 3.1 billion base pairs. Only 2.9% bases encode genes ; the other 97.1% genome used to be called junk DNA previously. But now we know they ain't junk, they encode regulatory elements . These regulatory elements encode instructions related to when, where, which, and how much protein is to be made. Sequences hide the mystery of life. The process of sequencing allows us to map how a particular species has evolved and gives us data never seen before. Genetic differences between different people at the genome level can be studied, and other population genetics questions can be answered, like the early migration of human genetics. Bioinformatics, in witty terms, is the result of love between life sciences & c...
