L'ananas est une espèce de plantes xérophytes, originaire d'Amérique du Sud, plus spécifiquement du Paraguay, du nord-est de l'Argentine et sud du Brésil. Il est connu principalement pour son fruit comestible, qui est en réalité un fruit multiple. Le mot ananas vient du tupi-guarani naná naná, qui signifie « parfum des parfums ». Le terme ananas est également un nom vernaculaire qui peut désigner plusieurs autres espèces de Bromeliaceae, aux fruits pas à peu comestibles comme l'espèce Glomeropitcairnia penduliflora désignée par les termes « ananas sauvage », « ananas bois » et « zananas mawon », ou encore plusieurs espèces du genre botanique Ananas comme Ananas bracteatus sous les noms d'« ananas sauvage » et « ananas marron ». Les grandes plantations d’ananas aux Philippines, Costa Rica, Brésil, Indonésie et autres pays tropicaux ont permis d’assurer une production mondiale d’ananas de 27,8 millions de tonnes en 2020. Les feuilles d’ananas contiennent des fibres qui servent à fabriquer des tissus ou du papier.

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 Ananas comosus has left across the world's sequence archives.
At a glance
★ the standard DNA barcode for this group — the short region actually read to tell this species apart. The rest are extra genes sequenced along the way.
The complete instruction manual Ananas comosus 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
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.

Sequencing statusassembly quality — how far to trust these numbers
Assembly level tells you how finished the sequence is — from fragmented contigs, through scaffolds, up to a full chromosome-level assembly. BUSCO % estimates completeness: the share of genes expected to be present that were actually found. These describe the data quality, not the organism.
Record type2 742 records
Origin
Range
Wildobservation + sensor
Human sightings and records, or camera-trap / sensor detections — someone (or a device) saw or captured the species in the wild.
Museum / Voucheredphysical evidence
Backed by a physical specimen — a herbarium sheet, sample or voucher held in a collection. “Vouchered” means supported by material evidence, not just an observation.
Cultivated / Captivenot free-living
A living individual in a botanical garden, zoo or nursery — cultivated or kept, not free-living.

Cultivated / Captivenot free-living
A living individual in a botanical garden, zoo or nursery — cultivated or kept, not free-living.
Where the DNA of Ananas comosus 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.
Signal
Where its DNA was found
How strong is each trace?
Modelled climatemodelled
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.
