Our article concentrates on the origins of basic genetic terms, such as genetics, gene, genotype, genome, gene pool, and genomics. We propose using the term karyogenomics for the special direction of genomics related to the study of the organization and evolution of eukaryotic genomes by means of modern chromosome analysis, as well as by full genome sequencing. genome, gene, genotype, genomics, gene pool, chromosomes, karyotype, polyploidy, karyogenomics, history of terms |
