Comments


genome - (pronounced) (JEE name) The complete set of DNA (genetic material) in an organism. In humans, almost every cell in the body contains a complete copy of the genome. The genome contains all the information a human needs to develop and grow. Studying the genome can help researchers understand how different types of cancer form and respond to treatment. This may lead to new ways of diagnosing, treating and preventing cancer
