Genome - Wikipedia
An image of the 46 chromosomes making up the diploid genome of a human male (the mitochondrial chromosomes are not shown). A genome is all the genetic information of an organism. [1] It consists of nucleotide sequences of DNA (or RNA in RNA viruses).
Genome
The genome is the entire set of DNA instructions found in a cell. In humans, the genome consists of 23 pairs of chromosomes located in the cell’s nucleus, as well as a small chromosome in the cell’s mitochondria. A genome contains all the information needed for an individual to develop and function.

A genome is the complete set of genetic information in an organism. It provides all of the information the organism requires to function. In living organisms, the genome is stored in long...
Introduction to Genomics - National Human Genome Research Institute
Your genome is the operating manual containing all the instructions that helped you develop from a single cell into the person you are today. It guides your growth, helps your organs to do their jobs, and repairs itself when it becomes damaged.
Genome - Definition and Examples - Biology Online Dictionary
As defined in biology, a genome is a complete set of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) within a living cell. The human cell generally contains up to 3 billion base pairs of DNA, which makes the genome. Other viruses have their genetic material in the form of ribonucleic acid (RNA).
What is a genome?
A genome is an organism’s complete set of genetic instructions. Each genome contains all of the information needed to build that organism and allow it to grow and develop.
The Human Genome - Genomes - NCBI Bookshelf
DNA and RNA are polymeric molecules made up of chains of monomeric subunits called nucleotides. The human genome, which is typical of the genomes of all multicellular animals, consists of two distinct parts (Figure 1.1): The nuclear and mitochondrial components of the human genome.
What Is a Genome? - PMC - PubMed Central (PMC)
The genome is often described as the information repository of an organism. Whether millions or billions of letters of DNA, its transmission across generations confers the principal medium for inheritance of organismal traits. Several emerging areas ...
