01Narrative

Hydrophyllum macrophyllum, commonly known as the hairy waterleaf or largeleaf waterleaf, is a species of plant in the borage family. It is native to the eastern United States where it is found primarily in the Midwest and Upper South. Its natural habitat is forests with mesic, rocky, calcareous soil. It is a perennial that produces cream-colored flowers in late spring.

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 Hydrophyllum macrophyllum has left across the world's sequence archives.

06Genome at a glanceCCDB

The complete instruction manual Hydrophyllum macrophyllum 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. Click any value below to see the underlying records and sources.
