With the discovery and completion of chromosome 1, different fields in biology have been studied. Examples are:

  • Mutations
  • Sequencing of different genes
  • Selection of different alleles
  • Different combinations of alleles

Diseases:

Proteins:

This website will display information on the different diseases that are caused by mutations in the genes on chromosome 1.           
It will also show information on the different genes on chromosome 1 that allow for the production of certain proteins.
