Interview a geneticist

[deleted-674077]

How many #basepair do each of the dna kit companies sequence?

If #Mitochandrial is About 17,000 basepair, where is the market that does a complete sequence of the smallest whole unit?

I read from Ancestry.com own website that they skip around reading every third gene, up to 150,000 genes; and then per @nihgov that every about 1,000 gene is typically a SNP or new gene, per what https://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/chromosome tells me. And that more than 100 million SNP variations are currently documented by the Government, which does the least dna testing of all sources on this planet.

Hello,
The Science Buddies forums are for students in grades K-12 who are doing science projects. If you are a student and are doing a science project, please tell us more about your project including your hypothesis and your plans for conducting experiments to test the hypothesis. If you are not a student in grades K-12, there are other places on the internet where your questions would be more appropriate. Thank you.
