What is meant by genome in GeneSpring?
A. A genome in GeneSpring represents a set of genes upon which experiments are done, and information about these genes. Generally, all the experiments and knowledge about a genome are stored in a separate directory. A GeneSpring genome need not correspond exactly to a real genome, although it usually does. For instance, a genome may contain three alleles (considered to be separate genes), whereas a particular organism would never have all three simultaneously.
