01Narrative

Allium winklerianum is an Asian species of onion native to Xinjiang, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan.Kew World Checklist of Selected Plant FamiliesFlora of China v 24 p 201 伊犁蒜 yi li suan Allium winklerianum It is also cultivated as an ornamental elsewhere because of the pretty flowers and also because of the strong lilac scent to the blooms.Bailey, L.H. & E.Z. Bailey. 1976. Hortus Third i–xiv, 1–1290. MacMillan, New York.Pacific Rim Native Plant Nursery, Chilliwack Mountain, British Columbia, CanadaMerkodovich, N.A. (ed.) (1941).

Leaves are flat, shorter than the scape, up to 25 mm across. Umbel is hemispheric, with many flowers crowded together. Tepals are lilac-colored.Regel, Eduard August von. 1884.

05DNA & barcoding3 specimens

A DNA barcode is a short, standardised stretch of genes that works like a fingerprint — enough to tell one species from another. Below is the molecular trace Allium winklerianum has left across the world's sequence archives.

06Genome at a glanceCCDB · GoaT

The complete instruction manual Allium winklerianum carries — its genome. We read it from three angles — how big it is, how the DNA is packed into chromosomes, and how completely it has been sequenced — and explain how to read each value as you go.

Genome sizehow big the whole instruction manual is

Genome size16 073 429 999 bp

Measured in base pairs (bp) — the individual letters of DNA (human ≈ 3.2 Gb, a bacterium a few million). The chart places this genome on a logarithmic scale — each step to the right is ten times bigger — among reference organisms. Across species a bigger genome loosely tracks with larger cells, slower growth and lower-energy lifestyles (powered flight favours small genomes) — yet it does not imply more genes or a more advanced organism (the long-standing C-value paradox).

Chromosomes & ploidyhow the DNA is packaged

2n is the full chromosome count in a normal body cell; n is a gamete (egg or sperm), which carries half. Ploidy is how many complete chromosome sets each cell holds — 2× (diploid) is typical for animals, while higher levels (polyploidy) are common in plants.

Where the DNA of Allium winklerianum was picked up in samples of water, soil or air — nobody saw the organism, only its DNA left behind. A trace is a clue that the species was near, not a confirmed sighting.

How to read this: each dot is one detection of this species' DNA in an environmental sample. The confidence meter weighs how many independent studies and places back up the signal — one detection in one study is a hint; many across several studies is solid. Records dated before 2008 (when eDNA methods began) are treated as likely mislabeled and left off the map.
