01Narrative

Cosmos ochroleucoflorus is a Mexican species of plants in the family Asteraceae. It has been found only in the state of Durango in northwestern Mexico.Melchert, Thomas E. 1990. Phytologia 69(3): 200-215CONABIO. 2009. Catálogo taxonómico de especies de México. 1. In Capital Nat. México. CONABIO, México D.F.. Cosmos ochroleucoflorus is a branching perennial up to 80 cm (32 inches) tall, spreading by means of underground rhizomes. Leaves are narrow, undivided, up to 13 cm (5 inches) long. Each stem produces one or a few flower heads, each with pink or lavender ray florets and white or pale yellow disc florets.

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 Cosmos ochroleucoflorus has left across the world's sequence archives.

06Genome at a glanceCCDB

The complete instruction manual Cosmos ochroleucoflorus 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.
