Human Genome Landmarks Poster: Chromosome Viewer The Human Genome Landmarks poster is a 24" by 36" wall poster that lists selected genes, traits, and disorders associated with each of the 24 different human chromosomes. Request a free print copy of this poster online. The content presented on the wall poster is available on the Web using the chromosome viewer below. Select a chromosome to view it online or print it. The chromosome viewer is a MacroMedia Flash file. If you do not have Flash Player installed on your computer, visit MacroMedia to download your free copy. The guides and tutorials at Gene Gateway supplement this poster by helping you find and use databases and other resources for learning more about the genes, traits, and genetic disorders associated with each chromosome. The Human Genome Landmarks poster and Gene Gateway are products of the Human Genome Management Information System of the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science. |

Click on any chromosome below to see a list of selected traits and disorders associated with that chromosome.
| Legend:
Magenta and green. These regions reflect the unique patterns of light and dark bands seen on human chromosomes that have been stained to allow viewing through a light microscope. Red. The centromere, or constricted portion, of each chromosome. Yellow. Chromosomal regions that vary in staining intensity and are sometimes called heterochromatin (meaning "different color"). Yellow with thin magenta horizontal lines. (e.g., on chromosome 21) denote variable regions, called stalks, that connect a very small chromosome arm (a "satellite") to the chromosome. |
NOTE: The Human Genome Landmarks poster is for educational purposes only, and is not intended to provide medical advice. Genes associated with the disorders and other traits listed on this poster were selected from the comprehensive database Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM), which designated the status of each of these as confirmed or provisional as of July 2000. The extent of knowledge about any specific gene or disorder varies widely.
