Chromosome 11 (human)
Chromosome 11 is one of the 23 pairs of chromosomes in humans. Humans normally have two copies of this chromosome. Chromosome 11 spans about 135 million base pairs (the building material of DNA) and represents between 4 and 4.5 percent of the total DNA in cells. It is one of the most gene- and disease-rich chromosomes in the human genome.
Identifying genes on each chromosome is an active area of genetic research. Because researchers use different approaches to predict the number of genes on each chromosome, the estimated number of genes varies. Chromosome 11 likely contains between 1,300 and 1,700 genes.
A recent study shows that 11.6 genes per megabase, including 1,524 protein-coding genes and 765 pseudogenes can be found on chromosome 11.
More than 40% of the 856 olfactory receptor genes in the human genome are located in 28 single- and multi-gene clusters along this chromosome.

Through my finger, fades tomorrow
But wait for me 'cause lines are forming
And words get clearer now
I'll borrow them from you
'Cause it's all I can do, yeah, yeah
Today, they shine like Jesus
And light of millions face our sorrows
But wait the lines are forming
And words get clearer now
I'll borrow them from you
'Cause it's all I can do
Cracked, charred, charred
You can't communicate
Dumb, dumb, dumb
Dumb, dumb, dumb
Cracked, charred, charred
You can't communicate
Dumb, dumb, dumb
Dumb, dumb, dumb
