01Narrative
Solidago nana is a North American plant species in the family Asteraceae, with the common names baby goldenrod and dwarf goldenrod. The species is native to deserts and mountainsides in the western United States, from the Rocky Mountains to the Great Basin in the states of Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico.Biota of North America Program 2014 county distribution mapUniversity of Waterloo (Canada), Astereae Lab, Solidago nana Baby or Dwarf Goldenrod description, photos, distribution mapSEINet, Southwestern Biodiversity, Arizona chapter, Solidago nana Nutt. description, photos, distribution map Solidago nana is a perennial herb up to 50 cm (20 inches) tall, spreading by means of underground rhizomes. The leaves near the bottom of the stem are narrow, up to 10 cm (4 inches) long; leaves get progressively smaller higher up on the stem. One plant can produce as many as 100 small yellow flower heads in a large, flat-topped array at the top of the plant.Flora of North America, Solidago nana Nuttall, 1841. Baby or dwarf goldenrod

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 Solidago nana has left across the world's sequence archives.

The complete instruction manualSolidago nana 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.
