01Narrative

Darwinia pauciflora is a plant in the myrtle family Myrtaceae and is endemic to Western Australia. The shrub has an open and bushy habit and typically grows to height of 0.3 to. It blooms between March and October producing white-cream or white-pink flowers. The specific epithet pauciflora, refers to the Latin term for 'few flowered'.Allen J. CoombesD. Gledhill Often found on hillsides or sandplains in the Mid West region of Western Australia in an area on the coast around Geraldton 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 pauciflora has left across the world's sequence archives.

06Genome at a glanceCCDB

The complete instruction manual Darwinia pauciflora 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.
