01Narrative

Cyanea superba is a rare species of flowering plant in the bellflower family known by the common names Mt. Kaala cyanea and superb cyanea. It is endemic to the island of Oahu, but it is now extinct in the wild. It exists in cultivation and some individuals have been planted in appropriate habitat.Bruegmann, M. M. & V. Caraway. (2003). Cyanea superba. IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. IUCN 2010. www.iucnredlist.org . Retrieved on 1 March 2011. It is a federally listed endangered species of the United States. Like other Cyanea it is known as haha in Hawaiian.USFWS Species Pro

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 Cyanea superba has left across the world's sequence archives.

06Genome at a glanceGoaT

The complete instruction manual Cyanea superba 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.
