Human genome - Wikipedia
The human genome is a complete set of DNA sequences for each of the 22 autosomes and the two distinct sex chromosomes (X and Y). A small DNA molecule is found within individual mitochondria. These are usually treated separately as the nuclear genome and the mitochondrial genome. [1]

The Human Genome Project
The Human Genome Project (HGP) is one of the greatest scientific feats in history. The project was a voyage of biological discovery led by an international group of researchers looking to comprehensively study all of the DNA (known as a genome) of a select set of organisms.

5.17 The Human Genome – Human Biology
The human genome refers to all of the DNA of the human species. It consists of more than 3.3 billion base pairs divided into 20,500 genes on 23 pairs of chromosomes.

The complete sequence of a human genome | Science
Here, we describe the construction, validation, and initial analysis of a truly complete human reference genome and discuss its potential impact on the field.

Human Genome - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
The human genome is defined as the entire DNA of a human organism, comprising 23 chromosome pairs and approximately 2.9 billion base pairs that encode around 20,000–25,000 genes, which carry the information necessary for producing proteins that regulate physiological functions and behaviors.

Human Genome Project (HGP) | History, Timeline, & Facts | Britannica
Human Genome Project (HGP), an international collaboration that successfully determined, stored, and rendered publicly available the sequences of almost all the genetic content of the chromosomes of the human organism, otherwise known as the human genome.

First complete sequence of a human genome - National Institutes of ...
Researchers finished sequencing the roughly 3 billion bases (or “letters”) of DNA that make up a human genome. Having a complete, gap-free sequence of our DNA is critical for understanding human genomic variation and the genetic contributions to certain diseases.
