01Narrative
Cheilymenia fimicola is a species of apothecial fungus belonging to the family Pyronemataceae. This is a common European species appearing throughout the year as orange discs up to 5 mm in diameter, singly or clustered on dung, usually from cows. The fungus grows as flat saucers without stipes. It has hairs resembling eyelashes. It is reddish-orange when young and lightens in age. It may be closely related to species of Aleuria. It is thought to probably be edible if cleaned thoroughly. Similar species include Cheilymenia crucipila, Cheilymenia stercorea, and Cheilymenia theleboloides.

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 Cheilymenia fimicola has left across the world's sequence archives.

The complete instruction manualCheilymenia fimicola 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 size25 270 000 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).
