A genome is the totality of an organism's hereditary information.
The total genomic information of a species and population can be called pangenome.
It is usually encoded either in DNA or, formany types of viruses, in RNA.
The genome includes both the genes and the non-coding sequences of the DNA/RNA.
Genome: A 1930 neologism, this is the second oldest "-ome".
It is definedas " A complete haploid set of chromosomes with its associated genes."
It's use has increased significantly since the inceptionof the "Genome Project" in 1984.
