n.

a full haploid set of chromosomes with all its genes; the total genetic constitution of a cell or organism.

[1925–30; < German]

ge·nome

(jē′nōm)

The total amount of genetic information in the chromosomes of an organism, including its genes and DNA sequences. The genome of eukaryotes is made up of a single, haploid set of chromosomes that is contained in the nucleus of every cell and exists in two copies in the chromosomes of all cells except reproductive cells. The human genome is made up of about 30,000 genes. ♦ The scientific study of genomes is called genomics (jə-nō′mĭks).

To better understand these bacteria and develop more effective treatments, University of California San Diego researchers examined not just a single representative staph genome, but the "pan-genome"--the genomes of 64 different strains that differ in where they live, the types of hosts they infect, and their antibiotic resistance profiles.

Researchers work to distinguish deadly staph bacteria from harmless strains

Investigators examined the genomes from 26 populations across Africa, East and South Asia, Europe, and the Americas, identifying about 88,000,000 sites in the human genome that vary among people, establishing a database available to researchers as a standard reference for how the genomic makeup of people varies in populations and around the world.
