Chromosome 17

Chromosome 17 is one of the 23 pairs of chromosomes in humans. People normally have two copies of this chromosome. Chromosome 17 spans more than 84 million base pairs (the building material of DNA) and represents between 2.5 and 3% of the total DNA in cells.

Genes

Number of genes

The following are some of the gene count estimates of human chromosome 17. Because researchers use different approaches to genome annotation their predictions of the number of genes on each chromosome varies (for technical details, see gene prediction). The most conservative estimate, from CCDS, represents a lower bound on the total number of human protein-coding genes.^[4]

Cytogenetic band

G-banding ideograms of human chromosome 17

G-banding ideogram of human chromosome 17 in resolution 850 bphs. Band length in this diagram is proportional to base-pair length. This type of ideogram is generally used in genome browsers (e.g. Ensembl, UCSC Genome Browser).

G-banding patterns of human chromosome 17 in three different resolutions (400,^[12] 550^[13] and 850^[3]). Band length in this diagram is based on the ideograms from ISCN (2013).^[14] This type of ideogram represents actual relative band length observed under a microscope at the different moments during the mitotic process.^[15]
