Genome

The genome is the entirety of an organism's hereditary information.

The genome is encoded either in DNA or, for many types of viruses, in RNA.

The genome includes both the Genes and the Non-coding sequences of the DNA/RNA.

The term was created in 1920 by Hans Winkler, professor of botany at the University of Hamburg, Germany.

The Oxford English Dictionary suggests the name to be a blend of the words Gene and Chromosome.

A few related -ome words already existed—such as biome, rhizome and, more recently, connectome—forming a vocabulary into which genome fits systematically.
