Figure Four Graphic
The ultimate description for the genome is the base pair sequence. This display shows how the individual pieces of DNA are selected to build an overlapping sequence. The upper-most line below the numbers indicates the consensus of three separate reactions. The raw data is seen in the traces.

Figure Six Mouse Graphic
The mouse genome is closely related to the human genome, but is assembled in a different way. Each mouse chromosome 1-19, plus X and Y, has the indicated pieces of the human chromosomes shown. This close relationship enables us to learn about genes that are basically the same in the two species.
