Abstract
The Molecular Paradigm of Human Complexity
Highlights
During the course of evolution it is thought that the bacterial genome got incorporated into eukaryotic cells and morphed into mitochondrial genome
Scientists have estimated that if we were to extend the total of 6×109 bp of DNA from the content of all 23 pairs of human chromosome, it would be a ladder that would go up formiles [1,2]
We were very pleased to believe that the greater length of the human genome could explain the complexity of human as an organism relative to simple bacteria that has a genome size of only 4.7×106 bp, a 1000 fold difference
Summary
During the course of evolution it is thought that the bacterial genome got incorporated into eukaryotic cells and morphed into mitochondrial genome. We were very pleased to believe that the greater length of the human genome could explain the complexity of human as an organism relative to simple bacteria that has a genome size of only 4.7×106 bp, a 1000 fold difference. We know that the total number of protein coding genes in humans is amere ~22,700 [3,4,5].
