Description
Human genome, conceptual image. Human figures on a plastic molecular model of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). DNA is composed of two strands twisted into a double helix. Each strand consists of a sugar-phosphate backbone (on outside of helix) attached to nucleotide bases (horizontal, between strands). There are four different bases guanine, cytosine, thymine and adenine. DNA contains sections called genes, which encode the body's genetic information. A genome is the entire DNA sequence of an organism.
