01Narrative

Darwinia oederoides is a plant in the myrtle family Myrtaceae and is endemic to Western Australia. The shrub has a prostrate to low and spreading habit and typically grows to height of 0.1 to. It blooms between October and January producing red, yellow and green flowers. It is similar in appearance to the endangered species Darwinia whicherensis. Often found in wet depressions and along watercourses in the South West and Great Southern regions of Western Australia where it grows in sandy soils.

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 Darwinia oederoides has left across the world's sequence archives.

06Genome at a glanceCCDB

The complete instruction manual Darwinia oederoides 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.
