01Narrative

Solanum fernandezianum est une espèce de plante herbacée vivace de la famille des Solanaceae. Cette espèce, vivace par ses rhizomes, est originaire du Chili où elle est endémique. Elle est apparentée à la pomme de terre cultivée mais, contrairement à celle-ci, elle est diploïde. Solanum fernandezianum est naturellement infectée sans présenter de symptômes par plusieurs virus de la pomme de terre, et constitue, malgré les difficultés d'hybridation, une source de gènes de résistance à ces maladies pour les pommes de terre cultivées.

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 Solanum fernandezianum has left across the world's sequence archives.

The complete instruction manual Solanum fernandezianum 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.

Genome sizehow big the whole instruction manual is

Genome size782 400 000 bp

Measured in base pairs (bp) — the individual letters of DNA (human ≈ 3.2 Gb, a bacterium a few million). The chart places this genome on a logarithmic scale — each step to the right is ten times bigger — among reference organisms. Across species a bigger genome loosely tracks with larger cells, slower growth and lower-energy lifestyles (powered flight favours small genomes) — yet it does not imply more genes or a more advanced organism (the long-standing C-value paradox).

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.
