Genomic sequence
A genomic sequence is the complete set of genetic instructions found in an organism’s DNA. It is composed of a long string of molecules called nucleotides, arranged in a specific order. These sequences encode information that determines biological traits, functions, and development. Think of it as a biological blueprint or instruction manual that guides how an organism grows, functions, and interacts with its environment. By studying a genome, scientists can understand health, inheritance, and the biological basis of life itself.
