Amphiroa beauvoisii is a species of thalloid red algae in the Corallinaceae family. It is widely distributed across the world, and can be found attached to rocks in intertidal areas. Individual organisms consist of a base of calcified material, tissue in the shape of branching fan-like planes growing out of it. It exhibits a wide range of morphologies based on where it is found, as well as different reproductive behaviors based on season and location.

05DNA & barcoding19 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 Amphiroa beauvoisii has left across the world's sequence archives.

The DNA barcodea real sequence read deposited for this species
Each circle is a barcode variant; bigger = more specimens, colour = region. Lines join the most similar variants and the tick marks count the mutations between them — a tight cluster is one “dialect”, a long line a more divergent lineage. Click a circle to list its actual specimens.

06Genome at a glanceGoaT
The complete instruction manualAmphiroa beauvoisii 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 size342 300 000 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).

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.
