During the last century, that study of microorganisms has been shifted to their effects on human physiology and biochemistry. And, very lately it has been directed to the science of Human Genetics and Genome. The word "genome" is a combination of the words "gene" and "chromosome". By mapping and reading Genetic Codes of various organisms researchers have discovered that there is a genetic "unity of life" upon this earth. All living ...
