Before the human genome was sequenced it was believed that


Before the human genome was sequenced, it was believed that thehuman genome consisted of between 80,000-100,000 different genes. This is basedon the fact that there are approximately these numbers of different polypeptides expressed inthe human body. However, upon completion of the Human Genome Project, it was foundthat there are actually only about 24,000 genes. How can 24,000 different genes code for80,000-100,000 different polypeptides?
