Materials genome is an analogy to genome in biology (all the genetic information of an organism), but in a conceptual sense: the many important phases and processes that make up engineered materials are the "genome" of materials science.

The Materials Genome Initiative (MGI) is an effort to design, manufacture, and deploy materials and materials-based technologies significantly faster and cheaper than ever before. The MGI partially references the Human Genome Project, but only conceptually, and is a broader and less targeted effort.
