Genome

Context:
- It can (typically) be composed of Chromosomes.
- It can include both the genes (the coding regions) and the noncoding DNA, as well as mitochondrial DNA and chloroplast DNA.
- It can range from being a Fertilized Egg Genome to being a Mature Cell Genome (with genetic mutations).
- It can contain an Epigenome.
- It can be determined by Genomic Sequencing.
- …
Example(s):
- a Human Genome.
- a Fly Genome.
- a Paris japonica Genome (with ~40 chromosomes).
- …

- In the fields of molecular biology and genetics, a genome is all genetic information of an organism. It consists of nucleotide sequences of DNA (or RNA in RNA viruses). The genome includes both the genes (the coding regions) and the noncoding DNA, as well as mitochondrial DNA and chloroplast DNA. The study of the genome is called genomics. The genomes of several organisms have been sequenced and genes analyzed. The human genomeproject which sequenced the entire genome for Homo sapiens was successfully completed in April 2003.
