01Narrative

Angraecum podochiloides is a species of comet orchid that can be found in Cameroon, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Côte d'Ivoire, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Ghana, Liberia and Nigeria. It can be found in dense lowland forests on Gilbertiodendron dewevrei, and in humid forests at higher elevations or low montane forests. It is an epiphyte on Dialium corbisieri or in periodically flooded marshes with Guibourtia.

05DNA & barcodingmolecular

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 Angraecum podochiloides has left across the world's sequence archives.

06Genome at a glanceCCDB

The complete instruction manual Angraecum podochiloides 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.

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.
