What exactly are genomes, genotypes and phenotypes? And what about phenomes?

Journal of theoretical biology - 7 May 1997

Mahner M, Kary M

Abstract excerpt

The fundamental concepts of genome, genotype and phenotype are not defined in a satisfactory manner within the biological literature. Not only are there inconsistencies in usage between various authors, but even individual authors do not use these concepts in a consistent manner within their own writings. We have found at least five different notions of genome, seven of genotype, and five of phenotype current in...
