the unique genetic code or hereditary material of an organism, carried by a set of chromosomes in the nucleus of each cell The human genome contains an estimated 50,000-100,000 genes; the genome of HIV contains 9 genes
In biology and genetics, a genome is the particular number and combination of certain chromosomes necessary to form the single nucleus of a living cell. all the genes in one cell of living thing (genos + chromosome)
All the DNA (total hereditary material) in an organism, including its genes The DNA is found as tightly coiled threads (chromosomes) in the nucleus of every cell The threads are composed of paired strands of nucleotides or base pairs There are 3 2 billion base pairs in the human genome and approximately 30,000 genes (CNN)
the ordering of genes in a haploid set of chromosomes of a particular organism; the full DNA sequence of an organism; "the human genome contains approximately three billion chemical base pairs
All the genetic material in the chromosomes of a particular organism USDA's research agencies have a Plant Genome Mapping Program to identify, characterize, and map the position of agriculturally important genes on the chromosomes of plants grown as crops or trees in order to better use these genes for improving the characteristics of the plant (resistance to disease, higher yields, etc ) through breeding
The total genetic information present within a single cell nucleus of an animal The haploid genome content of the mouse is 3 x109 bp See Genome in the MGI Glossary
(adjective GENOMIC): the unique genetic code or hereditary material of an organism, carried by a set of chromosomes in the nucleus of each cell The human genome contains an estimated 50,000-100,000 genes; the genome of HIV contains nine genes
