01Narrative
Phacelia corymbosa is a species of flowering plant known by the common name serpentine phacelia. It is native to the mountains of southern Oregon and northern California, where it grows in serpentine soils. It is a perennial herb growing mostly erect to a maximum height near 40 centimeters. It is very glandular and coated in stiff hairs. The lower leaves are up to 15 centimeters long and sometimes divided into smaller leaflets; leaves higher on the plant are smaller and generally undivided. The hairy inflorescence is a coiling cluster of cylindrical white flowers, each about half a centimeter long and with five long protruding stamens.

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 Phacelia corymbosa has left across the world's sequence archives.

06Genome at a glanceCCDB
The complete instruction manualPhacelia corymbosa 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.
