That’s it—four chemicals (adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine, aka A, T, C, and G) lined up in certain combinations encode the instructions to make a human being.resources.genomemedical.comIn humans, a copy of the entire genome is made up of more than 3 billion DNA base pairs; these are essentially four different chemicals that makeup DNA.

Perri and her colleagues used already-sequenced genome s from ancient and modern dogs to calculate when populations had split or interbred, and then they repeated the process with human genome s. n.dictionary.comResearchers used a form of adenovirus that can’t replicate and cause disease, and added the genetic material that encodes for the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein into its genome.

To date, humans are the only life form that has successfully sequenced its own genome, yet there are many life forms on earth that have genomes substantially larger from the human genome. Go figure!genome.govWhile 3 billion is a big number, the rare Japanese flower called Paris japonica has a genome size of roughly 150 billion nucleotides, making it 50 times the size of the human genome.
