Number of genes The following are some of the gene count estimates of human chromosome 3. Because researchers use different approaches to
genome annotation their predictions of the
number of genes on each chromosome varies (for technical details, see
gene prediction). Among various projects, the collaborative consensus coding sequence project (
CCDS) takes an extremely conservative strategy. So CCDS's gene number prediction represents a lower bound on the total number of human protein-coding genes.
