Gene database of genes on different human chromosomes

Since the advent of the genomics
age that began in the 1990s with the sequencing of a couple of model bacterial
and eukaryotic genomes, humans have been on a quest to sequence many species in
our ecosystems to find commonalities and differences in sequence that help
explain phenotypes. This led to the field of functional genomics, and which is
what gave us the capability to automatically annotate a genome with sequence
homology as probe. This work sought to provide the gene database of all genes
in the human genome on a granular level by categorizing the genetic repertoire
of humans at the chromosomal level. Specifically, an in-house MATLAB genome
analysis software was used to parse the annotated genome sequence file of
different chromosomes of the human genome. Variables that have been output for
each gene includes gene name, gene function, promoter sequence and gene
sequence. Such information, when aggregated at the level of chromosomes, and
entire genome, should inform further studies seeking to unravel the mysteries
that link gene sequence, gene expression, cell differentiation, and organismal
developmental trajectories and phenotypes.
