Pterocarpus indicus est une espèce de plantes à fleurs de la famille des Fabacées. C'est un arbre appelé amboine, mais aussi bois de rose de Birmanie, santal rouge, ou sang-dragon. Son bois est utilisé en coutellerie d'art, notamment sa loupe, pour les manches des couteaux et pour le plaquage au début du XXe siècle, notamment à l'époque art déco. C'est l'arbre officiel de la province de Phuket, en Thaïlande. C'est aussi l'arbre urbain le plus présent et le plus planté à Bangkok, ce qui est une source de risque d'épidémie en cas d'apparition de phytopathogène hautement pathogène pour l'espèce.

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 Pterocarpus indicus has left across the world's sequence archives.

The complete instruction manualPterocarpus indicus 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.

09Environmental DNA15 detections
Where the DNA of Pterocarpus indicus 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.
