01Narrative

Gardenia remyi, the nānū or Remy's gardenia, is a species of flowering tree in the madder family, Rubiaceae. It is endemic to Hawaii. It inhabits coastal mesic, mixed mesic, and wet forests at elevations of 60 – on Kauai, Molokai, Maui, and the Big Island. It is threatened by habitat loss.

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 Gardenia remyi has left across the world's sequence archives.

06Genome at a glanceCCDB

The complete instruction manual Gardenia remyi 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.
