Summary Introduction

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a genetic material, which consists of a long stretch of nucleotide sequences. DNA carries genetic information from mother to offspring in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. A complete set of DNA material from an organism is known as the genome. Generally, genomes are larger than their cells in all organisms.  The large size of the DNA molecule is packaged inside the cell in a compact position. The mechanism of genomic DNA packaging varies in bacteria (prokaryotes) and eukaryotes.
