01Narrative
Hieracium fendleri is a North American plant species in the tribe Cichorieae within the family Asteraceae. It is widespread across much of the western part of the continent, from the Black Hills of Wyoming and South Dakota south as far as Guatemala.Biota of North America Program 2004 county distribution mapSEINet, Southwestern Biodiversity, Arizona chapter photos, description, distribution mapBreedlove, D.E. 1986. Flora de Chiapas. Listados Florísticos de México 4: i–v, 1–246. Hieracium fendleri is an herb up to 40 cm tall, with leaves mostly in a rosette at the bottom. Leaves are up to 70 mm long, sometimes with small teeth on the edges. One stalk will produce 2-5 flower heads in a flat-topped array. Each head has 15-30 pale yellow ray flowers but no disc flowers.Flora of North America, Hieracium fendleri Schultz-Bipontinus, 1861.

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 Hieracium fendleri has left across the world's sequence archives.

The complete instruction manualHieracium fendleri 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.
