FIRST things first, what is a genome? The website of the US National Centre for Biotechnology Information has a simple explanation.
It says, “Life is specified by genomes. Every organism, including humans, has a genome that contains all of the biological information needed to build and maintain a living example of that organism. The biological information contained in a genome is encoded in its deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and is divided into discrete units called genes.”
