If two different people read out their genome at a rate of one letter per second, it would take almost 8.5 minutes before they reached a difference. #junome

Huge brains, 3 hearts & independently intelligent arms: octopuses aren’t aliens, but their genomes are very strange compared with all other sea life. #junome

Was the biggest event of 1977 the release of Star Wars or the invention of Fred Sanger’s method for reading DNA? We vote for Sanger sequencing! #junome

Wheat genomes are weird! Your daily bread is hexaploid - 6 copies of each chromosome from 3 ancestral species making 17 billion basepairs of DNA. #junome Pic: Marc Wieland https://t.co/AFHUub8a3X

The biggest gene in the human genome is DMD – a 2.4 million letter ‘recipe’ encoding the vital muscle protein dystrophin #junome https://t.co/8lTbsNNDqT pic: Simone Pelligrini CC0

There’s no such thing as ‘The Human Genome’ - it’s a #globalgenome. Standard reference genome is from white Europeans & many ethnic groups are underrepresented #junome https://t.co/kQw0xjvXAS Pic: Omar Lopez CC0

#junome of the day! Already an oddity in the animal world, the duck-billed platypus has ten sex chromosomes, while mammals have just two. https://t.co/WAbd7C1CJT Pic: public domain

Not all genomes are made of DNA. Many of the world’s nastiest viruses have RNA genomes, including Ebola, rabies, flu, polio, measles and the common cold. #junome https://t.co/RT8QPCD2Ry Pic: Public domain

An onion’s genome is five times bigger than yours – but why? The Onion Test is a useful way of thinking about the function of ‘junk’ DNA. #junome https://t.co/JRshkUeobu

Engineered in a lab, these bacteria need just 473 genes to survive – the smallest functional bacterial genome so far. #junome https://t.co/S1DJ7gMZr2 Pic: T Deerinck & M Ellisman, National Centre for Microscopy & Imaging Research, UCSD

The record for the most chromosomes belongs to Oxytricha trifallax – a single-celled organism with 16,000 tiny chromosomes. #Junome
