6. Completion of the genome The current genome sequence (Build 35) contains 2.85 billion nucleotides interrupted by only 341 gaps. It covers approximately 99% of the euchromatic genome and is accurate to an error rate of approximately 1 event per 100,000 bases. Human genome seems to encode only 20,000-25,000 protein-coding genes International Human Genome Sequencing Consortium . Finishing the euchromatic sequence of the human genome.
