On this research website, I cant seem to figure out Mb means when they talk about genetics; I am trying to do research on the Angelman Syndrome.
Here is the website: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Search&db=books&doptcmdl=GenBookHL&term=407220[uid]&rid=gene.chapter.angelman#angelman.T5
or just go to http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ and look up "Angelman GeneReviews" in books and you'll find the site in GeneReviews...
someone please help!

1,000,000 base pairs = 1 Mb = 1 Megabase

Megabase (Mb) is a unit of length for DNA fragments, equal to 1 million nucleotides.

Probably megabases, as in millions of base pairs in DNA.
