novel extrachromosomal replicon [GENO_0000681]

An extrachromosomal replicon that is variant in a genome in virtue of its being a novel addition to the genome - i.e. it is not present in the reference for the genome in which it is found.

Class

An extrachromosomal replicon that is variant in a genome in virtue of its being a novel addition to the genome - i.e. it is not present in the reference for the genome in which it is found.

Extrachromosomal replicons are replicated and passed on to descendents, and thus part of the heritable genome of a cell or organism. In cases where the presence of such a replicon is exogenous or aberrant (i.e. not included in the reference for that genome), the replicon is considered a 'sequence alteration'.
