Autosome
Videos
An autosome is any chromosome that is not a sex chromosome. The members of an autosome pair in a diploid cell typically have the same morphology, unlike those in allosomal pairs, which may have differ

Human genome
Videos
The human genome is a complete set of DNA sequences for each of the 22 autosomes and the two distinct sex chromosomes. A small DNA molecule is found within individual mitochondria. These are usually t
Autosome
…chromosome pairs are identified with the same number (e.g. a somatic cell will have two copies of chromosome 1, two copies of chromosome 2...). The human genome contains 44 autosomal chromosomes, or as a diploid organism, 22 pairs of homologous autosomes that are numbered 1-22. These autosome pairs were labeled…
TSC SNP distribution along the long arm of chromosome 22 (from https://web.archive.org/web/20130903043223/http://snp.cshl.org/ ). Each column represents a 1 Mb interval; the approximate cytogenetic position is given on the x-axis. Clear peaks and troughs of SNP density can be seen, possibly reflecting different rates of mutation, recombination and selection.
Populations with a high level of parental-relatedness result in a larger number of homozygous gene knockouts as compared to outbred populations.
