01Narrative

Pellionia repens is a species of flowering plant in the nettle family, Urticaceae. It also is an interesting specimen to demonstrate the metamorphosis of chloroplast (outward of cell) to amyloplasts (inward of cell) if studied with a microscope. Under its synonym Elatostema repens it has won the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. E. repens var. pulchrum has also won the award.

05DNA & barcoding5 eDNA hits

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 Procris repens has left across the world's sequence archives.

06Genome at a glanceCCDB

The complete instruction manual Procris repens 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.

09Environmental DNA5 detections

Where the DNA of Procris repens was picked up in samples of water, soil or air — nobody saw the organism, only its DNA left behind. A trace is a clue that the species was near, not a confirmed sighting.

How to read this: each dot is one detection of this species' DNA in an environmental sample. The confidence meter weighs how many independent studies and places back up the signal — one detection in one study is a hint; many across several studies is solid. Records dated before 2008 (when eDNA methods began) are treated as likely mislabeled and left off the map.
