01Narrative

Pseudopaludicola saltica, also known as the Chupada swamp frog or long-legged swamp froglet , is a species of frog in the family Leptodactylidae. It is endemic to south-central Brazil (Mato Grosso, Minas Gerais, and São Paulo states, as well as the Federal District). Pseudopaludicola saltica is a common species of Cerrado savanna. It occurs in moist fields and pastures, adapting well to anthropogenic disturbance. Breeding takes place in pools and swamps. Local populations can be threatened by habitat loss caused by intensive agriculture, fire and, dam construction.

05DNA & barcoding1 specimens

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 Pseudopaludicola saltica has left across the world's sequence archives.

06Genome at a glanceGoaT

The complete instruction manual Pseudopaludicola saltica 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.
