Scientists at UC Santa Cruz have completed the first end-to-end genome of the iconic Pacific banana slug, a species ...

Genome size is the total number of base pairs in an organism. While the number of genes in an organism's DNA (red bars) varies from species to species (numbers at right), it is not always ...

This discrepancy between genome size and complexity remains clear more than half a century later, with genome sizes now available for nearly 9,000 species of animals and plants. In prokaryotes ...

The size of an organism's genome is measured by the number of base pairs it contains. Genome sizes vary widely between species. Some of the smallest genomes belong to viruses and contain only a few ...

A recent study released by researchers at North Carolina State University offers new insights and guidelines for the accurate estimation of plant genome size using flow cytometry. Flow cytometry ...

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have mapped the genome of the Iberian ribbed newt and revealed how the composition and ...
