Definition
The branch of molecular biology concerned with the structure, function, evolution, and mapping of an organism's complete set of DNA, often involving large-scale computational analysis.
Etymology
Derived from the term 'genome' (a blend of 'gene' and the suffix '-ome') combined with the Greek suffix '-ikos' meaning 'pertaining to.' It was coined in the 1980s to describe the comprehensive study of an organism's entire genetic material.
