Genomowlike
Genomowlike is a term used in theoretical biology and information sciences to describe systems, data representations, or organisms that resemble a genome in structural and informational properties. It denotes a genome-scale pattern of information organization, modularity, and regulatory architecture, rather than a specific taxonomic group.
The coinage combines genome with the suffix -like, indicating similarity. It has appeared in speculative literature
In practice, genomowlike constructs may refer to modular DNA assembly plans that mimic genomic organization, genome-scale
Critics note that the term can be vague and risk conflating natural genomes with engineered or abstract
