It's encoded in either DNA or for many types of viruses, in RNA

yes, but many viruses do not have DNA genome, but RNA genome.

Reverse transcriptase is an enzyme found in retroviruses, which are a type of virus. It plays a key role in converting the virus's RNA genome into DNA for integration into the host cell's genome.

Humans have around 20,000-25,000 genes in their genome, similar to that of a mouse. Fish species may have varying numbers of genes in their genome, but generally have a comparable number to humans and mice. There is significant overlap in the number of genes found in human, fish, and mouse genomes.

It tells you how many separate pieces of chromatin is found in its genome.
The UCSC Genome website contains the sequencing information for several genomes. Scientist are continuously sequencing different organisms, and this website is a compilation of that information in a usable format.
All DNA in one cell of an organism is collectively referred to as the genome. The cell's genome contains all the genetic material, including both coding and non-coding regions, necessary for the cell's function and development. Each cell within an organism typically contains a complete set of genetic instructions required for its specific functions.
The Human Genome Project
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the 'language' that genes are 'written in'. The DNA in the nucleus composes the genome (complete set of genes) of the organism to which the cell belongs. Thus the human genome is the genome of the DNA within the nucleus of human cells. But DNA, in plants and other photosynthetic eukaryotes, is found composing a completely different genome within the chloroplasts. And in most eukaryotes including animals, plants and fungi, their is also a separate mitochondrial genome composed from DNA in the mitochondria. The theory of endosymbiosis explains the presence of DNA in mitochondria and chloroplasts.
