01Narrative

Ribes laurifolium, the laurel-leaved currant, is a species of flowering plant in the family Grossulariaceae, native to China, in Guizhou, West Sichuan and Yunnan. Growing to a maximum of tall by broad, this evergreen, dioecious shrub has laurel-shaped leaves, and bears pendent clusters of creamy flowers with a green tinge, in winter and early spring. These are followed on female plants by red fruits turning black in autumn. In gardens it is a suitable subject for a sunny, sheltered spot in reliably moist soil.

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 Ribes laurifolium has left across the world's sequence archives.

06Genome at a glanceCCDB

The complete instruction manual Ribes laurifolium 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.
