01Narrative
Carphochaete bigelovii, common name Bigelow's bristlehead, is a species of North American flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. They are native to northern Mexico (Coahuila, Chihuahua, Durango, Sonora) and the southwestern United States (Arizona, New Mexico, western Texas).Biota of North America Program 2013 county distribution mapGray, Asa. 1852. Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge 3(5): 89Turner, B. L. 1997. The Comps of Mexico: A systematic account of the family Asteraceae, vol. 1 – Eupatorieae. Phytologia Memoirs 11: i–iv, 1–272.SEINet, Southeastern Biodiversity, Arizona Chapter includes photos and distribution map Carphochaete bigelovii is a shrub sometimes reaching a height of as much as 300 cm (10 feet) tall. Flower heads are usually borne 1 or 2 per branch, with disc florets but no ray florets. Florets are generally purple with white lobes around the edge.Flora of North America Bristlehead.

06Genome at a glanceCCDB
The complete instruction manualCarphochaete bigelovii 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.
