Figure 1. Three views of the human genome: (a) human male (46,XY) metaphase, Giemsa banding method; (b) idiogram panel of human chromosomes; and (c) a small fragment of human genomic sequence. To print the entire three billion base pairs of the human genome, about 700 volumes of 1000 pages each, would be required.
