01Narrative

Asteridea chaetopoda is a species of herb in the Asteraceae family, which is endemic to Western Australia, in the south-west. It was first described in 1876 as Athrixia chaetopoda by Ferdinand von Mueller, and allocated to the genus, Asteridea, in 1980 by G. Kroner. It is a perennial herb, growing on sandy soils, on limestone and on gypsum, to heights from 5 cm to 30 cm. Its yellow flowers may seen from August to November on salt lakes, stony rises, and dunes of Beard's Eremaean and South-West Provinces.

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 Asteridea chaetopoda has left across the world's sequence archives.

06Genome at a glanceGoaT

The complete instruction manual Asteridea chaetopoda 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.
