01Narrative

Galium minutulum is a species of plant in the family Rubiaceae. It is native to Spain, Portugal, France and Italy. Some of the Italian collections are located on the island of Sardinia, others inside Arcipelago Toscano National Park, located on a chain of islands off the coast of Tuscany.Kew World Checklist of Selected Plant Families, Galium minutulumAltervista Flora Italiana, Caglio minuscolo Many of the French populations are on the Hyères Islands in Provence.Médail, F. et al. 2000. Biologie et écologie du gaillet nain (Galium minutulum Jordan, Rubiaceae) sur les îles d'Hyères (Var, France); implications pour la conservation de l'espèce. Acta Botanica Gallica: Botany Letters 147(3): Galium minutulum is a diminutive plant, rarely more than 10 cm tall, and usually trailing along the ground. Flowers are generally less than 1 mm in diameter.Flores Alpes, Gaillet minusculeClaude Thomas Alexis Jordan. 1846. Observations sur Plusieurs Plantes Nouvelles 3: 182.

05DNA & barcoding1 specimens

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 Galium minutulum has left across the world's sequence archives.

06Genome at a glanceCCDB

The complete instruction manual Galium minutulum 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.
