01Narrative

Koanophyllon palmeri, called Palmer’s umbrella thoroughwort, is a North American plant species in the family Asteraceae. It is native to Arizona, southwestern New Mexico, and western Mexico from Sonora as far south as Michoacán.Biota of North America Program 2014 county distribution mapTurner, B. L. 1997. The Comps of Mexico: A systematic account of the family Asteraceae, vol. 1 – Eupatorieae. Phytologia Memoirs 11: i–iv, 1–272.SEINet, Southwestern Biodiversity, Arizona chapter description, photos, distribution map Koanophyllon palmeri is an herb or subshrub up to 100 cm (39 inches) in height. Leaves are lanceolate with rounded bases and narrow pointed tips. Flowers are usually white, but sometimes tinged with purple or yellow.Flora of North America, Koanophyllon palmeri (A. Gray) R. M.

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 Koanophyllon palmeri has left across the world's sequence archives.

06Genome at a glanceCCDB

The complete instruction manual Koanophyllon palmeri 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.
