National DNA Day
It was 100 years ago that the word GENE was coined by Danish botanist Wilhelm Johannsen to describe the Mendelian
units of heredity. More at http://genome.gov/25520244.

From the Talking Glossary of Genetic Terms at http://genome.gov/Glossary/index.cfm?id=70.

The gene is the basic physical unit of inheritance. Genes are p...assed from
parents to offspring and contain the information needed to specify traits. Genes
are arranged, one after another, on structures called chromosomes. A chromosome
contains a single, long DNA molecule, only a portion of which corresponds to a
single gene. Humans have approximately 23,000 genes arranged on their
chromosomes.

Hay! First Analysis of Horse Genome


An international research team, supported in part by NHGRI, has found that the genome of the domestic horse, Equus caballus, has a structure remarkably similar to our own genome. Published in the Nov. 6 issue of Science, the team's landmark analysis also sheds new light on the centr...omere evolution. -Centromeres, which are the structures that separate the long and short arms of chromosomes, help to ensure that cells inherit copies of each chromosome during cellular division.-

National DNA Day This genome is not only tasty and healthy, but valuable for insights into others from the cucurbit family, such as pumpkins and watermelons. Who knew? And since we've been food obsessed with recent posts, this just made sense to share. Enjoy!

The genome of the cucumber has been sequenced by an international consortium lead by Chinese and U.S. institutions. The annotated genome is published online Nov. 1 by the journal Nature Genetics.
