01Narrative
Galium wrightii, common name Wright's bedstraw, is a species of plants in the Rubiaceae. It is native to northwestern Mexico and southwestern United States: Sonora, Chihuahua, Arizona, New Mexico, western Texas, southwestern Utah (Washington Co.), southern Nevada (Clark + Lincoln Cos.) and southeastern California (San Bernardino County)Kew World Checklist of Selected Plant FamiliesBiota of North America ProgramRobinson, Benjamin Lincoln & Fernald, Merritt Lyndon. 1894. Proceedings of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences 30: 116-117, (citing collection from Sonora) In California, this plant is ranked as rare, threatened, or endangered in CA; common elsewhere.

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 wrightii has left across the world's sequence archives.

06Genome at a glanceCCDB
The complete instruction manualGalium wrightii 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.
