    Abstract

    A general diagram of the whole structure of the human genome is drafted on a logarithmic metric scale located in the radius of a circle showing a full haploid set of chromosomes. A base pair scale of DNA is displayed in circumferences at different orders of magnitude from one metre down to one picometre (10(-12) m).
