Genomic Structure
The arrangement and organization of genes and regulatory sequences in an organism's genome, influencing its function and evolution.
Eukaryotes
Organisms whose cells contain a nucleus and other organelles enclosed within membranes.
Prokaryotes
Single-celled organisms without a nucleus or other membrane-bound organelles, including bacteria and archaea.
