Genome ghost
Genome ghost or "ghosts in genomes" is a term that describes the possible genomes within an individual or population genome(s).
For example, a Mozart ghost in a genome means the genomic entity that can be the same as Mozart, the musician. The idea of genome ghost is possible because one single individual or a population has almost all the genetic module such as haploblocks. Creating a Mozart is a matter of reconstructing him from a person or a population. Therefore, genomes contain such ghosts.
The idea is not an invention of one person but it has been around for long time. In 1995-96, Jong Bhak described it to indicate the concept of "the whole species is you and you are the whole species". It means that unlike prokaryotes, a highly integrated network being such as a human, is a multiple layers of biological information object societies (groups, entities, clusters, etc).
Your ancestor is present in your genome as a genomic ghost.
The consequence of Genome Ghost
The hypothetical entity in practical world means that if we become to reach the point where the biobrain can contain enough information and knowledge as deep as the universe (i.e., if we become the gigantic hypothetical supercomputer), we become the universe and the universe becomes us.
