Raise your 10 paddles high for Dancing With the Stars judge Len Goodman. The stern British reality TV star, 68, who also hosts BBC1's Strictly Come Dancing, married his long-term girlfriend, dance teacher Sue Barrett, 47, Sunday in a surprise ceremony, reports the Daily Mail.
The total length of the human genome is over 3 billion base pairs. The genome is organized into 22 paired chromosomes, plus the X chromosome (one in males, two in females) and, in males only, one Y chromosome. These are all large linear DNA molecules contained within the cell nucleus.
If you examine the human genome ~99% of the introns are under 500 kb. I would assume that a limit between 250 kb - 500 kb is reasonable for gene prediction. You may incorrectly predict the proper structure of a small number of genes that have these very large introns but this should be a small number.
