Research at the Canadian Wood Fibre Centre and Laurentian Forestry Centre of Natural Resources Canada : forest genomics.: Fo4-124/2018E-PDF

"All living organisms contain DNA. DNA comprises a set of four nitrogenous bases (represented by the letters A, T, G and C). The order in which these four letters are put together “make up words and sentences” (genes), thereby “writing a book” (the genome), which includes billions of letters. The genome (a term derived from gene and chromosome) compiles all the genetic information contained in each cell of a living organism. It can thus be compared to an instruction manual, enabling cells to perform their various functions"--What is genomics?
