01Narrative

Pycnanthemum curvipes is a species of flowering plant in the mint family known by the common name stone mountainmint. It is native to the Southeastern United States, where it is found in Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, and Tennessee. Its preferred habitat is dry, rocky woodlands and outcrops.http://www.herbarium.unc.edu/flora.htm Flora of the Southern and Mid-Atlantic States by Alan Weakley This species is rare throughout its range, and is only found in small numbers in widely dispersed populations. It produces corymbs of purple-spotted flowers in the summer.

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 Pycnanthemum curvipes has left across the world's sequence archives.

At a glance

06Genome at a glanceCCDB

The complete instruction manual Pycnanthemum curvipes 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.
