DNA Testing Glossary
- Genome
- Genome does not refer to a specific organism but to a person’s entire genetic blueprint, which is to say the collective of its DNA’s instructions. A genome is the complete set of instructions needed by the body to create that individual. Every cell that contains a nucleus also contains a complete copy of that individual’s genome. While the study of genetics looks at individual genes or gene groups that make up a genome, the study of genomics looks at the genome as a whole.
