👉 Genome fumes refer to the complex mixture of genetic material and associated molecules released by cells, particularly during processes like cell death, apoptosis, or necrosis. These fumes include not only DNA and RNA but also various proteins, metabolites, and small RNAs that can influence the surrounding environment. In a broader context, genome fumes play crucial roles in intercellular communication, immune responses, and even in the spread of genetic material between cells, contributing to phenomena such as horizontal gene transfer. They can also impact tissue homeostasis and disease progression, making them significant in fields like cancer research and environmental toxicology.
