01Narrative

Galium noricum is a species of flowering plant in the family Rubiaceae. It is native to the eastern Alps of Austria, Slovenia, Bavaria and northern Italy (Veneto, Friuli-Venezia Giulia). The species is named for the ancient Roman Province of Noricum, which included most of present-day Austria and much of Slovenia.Kew World Checklist of Selected Plant FamiliesAltervista Flora Italiana, Caglio noricoActa Plantarum, Indice dei nomi delle specie botaniche presenti in Italia Galium noricum is a small plant with shiny green leaves and cream-colored flowers.

05DNA & barcoding6 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 noricum has left across the world's sequence archives.

06Genome at a glanceCCDB

The complete instruction manual Galium noricum 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.

09Environmental DNA2 detections

Where the DNA of Galium noricum was picked up in samples of water, soil or air — nobody saw the organism, only its DNA left behind. A trace is a clue that the species was near, not a confirmed sighting.

How to read this: each dot is one detection of this species' DNA in an environmental sample. The confidence meter weighs how many independent studies and places back up the signal — one detection in one study is a hint; many across several studies is solid. Records dated before 2008 (when eDNA methods began) are treated as likely mislabeled and left off the map.
