    GlossaryGenomic Instability

    increased tendency of DNA to acquire mutations

    Genomic instability refers to an increased tendency of an organism's DNA to acquire mutations, which can lead to various genetic disorders, including cancer. For a layperson, it's like having a book where the words and sentences keep changing, making it hard to understand the original story. For professionals, it involves mechanisms such as DNA replication errors, defective DNA repair, and chromosomal rearrangements.
