The biggest known human gene, dystrophin, is made up of about 2.4 million bases. The Human Genome Project also gave us more detailed information about chromosomes. It turns out that chromosome 1 contains the most genes – 3168, while the Y chromosome has the fewest – about 344.
One of the potential benefits is in the field of molecular medicine. The benefits in this field could include better diagnosis of disease, early detection of certain diseases, and gene therapy and control systems for drugs (1).
