01Narrative

Darwinia sanguinea is a plant in the myrtle family Myrtaceae and is endemic to Western Australia. The low sprawling and prostrate shrub typically grows to a height of 0.05 to. It blooms between August and December producing red-purple flowers. Often found on hills and sandplains between Coorow, Carnamah and Dandaragan in the Wheatbelt region of Western Australia where it grows in sandy soils over laterite.

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 sanguinea has left across the world's sequence archives.

06Genome at a glanceCCDB

The complete instruction manual Darwinia sanguinea 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.
