01Narrative

Stylidium eriopodum is a dicotyledonous plant that belongs to the genus Stylidium (family Stylidiaceae). A creeping perennial, herb which forms in compact clumps to 15 cm wide. Only found in the south west corner of Western Australia. The preferred habitat is eucalyptus woodland or shrublands. Attractive colourful flowers appear in October and November. This plant first appeared in scientific literature in 1839, in the Prodromus Systematis Naturalis Regni Vegetabilis published by the Swiss botanist Augustin Pyramus de Candolle.

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 Stylidium breviscapum has left across the world's sequence archives.

06Genome at a glanceCCDB

The complete instruction manual Stylidium breviscapum 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.
