A Genome Base or Base Genome is a genome that is not intended to be a unique breed in and of itself, but rather applied to base genetics of the game as a whole. Often genome bases are developed with the intent of fixing, enhancing, or adding complexity to different aspects of the gameplay experience. Common third-party C2 genome bases include the Canny and Nova Subterra norns, while CFE and TWB are common C3/DS bases.

Base genomes are usually, though not always, fundamentally incompatible with one another. Due to the nature of the changes involved, crossbreeding creatures from different genome bases tends to result in nonviable offspring. For this reason, players generally choose a single genome base for use in a world.
