Genome category is for web sites that deal with human or animal DNA. Genome is the entirety of an organism's hereditary information. It is encoded in the DNA or, for a virus, in RNA. The genome includes both the genes and the non-coded sequences of the DNA. The term was adapted in 1920 and suggests the name to be derived from the words gene and chromosome. If you are involved in genomes or have a related web site that qualifies for inclusion in this category, please submit you site and relevant information in this category.
