The locus 5p15 spans about 181 million base pairs on the short arm of chromosome 5, which is the largest chromosome.

For instance, the largest human chromosome, chromosome number 1, consists of approximately 220 million base pairs and is 85 mm long.

This genetic and catabolic diversity is not only due to the large bacterial chromosome, but also to the presence of three large linear plasmids.

NRC-1 genome consists of 2,571,010 base pairs on one large chromosome and two mini-chromosomes.

They noted that it had large chromosomes, like those of Persoonia and allied genera, as well as sharing some other primitive features.

These DNA strands are often extremely long; the largest human chromosome, for example, is about 247 million base pairs in length.

They are numbered by an arbitrary geneticists' convention in which the larger chromosomes generally have the lowest numbers.

Chromosome 5 is one of the largest human chromosomes, yet has one of the lowest gene densities.

Chromosome 1 is the designation for the largest human chromosome.

In the female, all except a pair of very large submetacentric chromosomes were found to be acrocentric.
