Genome
The genome is the storehouse of all biological bits of information that make up a species--human, elephant, vegetable or the cold virus. Within the genome are all the parts--chromosomes, genes, DNA--that make up the genetic or hereditary blueprint. Think of genome as a giant book with all the instructions for making life. If a genome is a book filled with words, DNA is the paper, ink and glue. The 3 billion letters in a human genome, if arranged in a straight line will stretch nearly 2,000 miles, but the same information is packed into a single cell that’s smaller than the tip of a pin.
