Individual codons code for specific amino acids. A gene is a sequence of nucleotides along a DNA strand-with 'start' and 'stop' codons and other regulatory elements-that specifies a sequence of amino acids that are linked together to form a protein.
1 The IGH genes permit the synthesis of about 6000 heavy chains, the IGK or IGL genes of about 160 light chains, which is equivalent to about a million possible combinations 6 x 10 3 x 160).
