genome
Full chromosome set
A genome is the complete set of genetic material in an organism—all its DNA, containing every gene and the instructions for building and maintaining that organism.
Each species has a characteristic genome; humans have roughly 20,000 genes across 23 chromosome pairs.
The Human Genome Project mapped our entire genetic sequence.
Genome appears frequently in discussions of genetics, medicine, and biotechnology: genome editing, genome sequencing.
