Researchers have decoded the largest animal genome, and it doesn't belong to giants like whales or elephants, but to a humble but strange-looking fish. The lungfish genome was found to be 30 times ...

Recent years have therefore seen a surge of 'big science', involving high-throughput analyses. Unbiased micro-array studies, for example, are often mere starting points for classical cell ...

The previously largest genome sequence of the Australian lungfish (Neoceratodus) had already been sequenced by the same team. The genetic material of the South American lungfish in particular ...

This variation in genome size highlights the remarkable diversity ... This means that even when it’s cold, big cells containing big genomes can grow by cell expansion quicker than small cells ...

The genomic data drop is said to be the largest that has ever been made available ... to use it for appropriate studies. Crucially, the genome data is accompanied by 15 years of information ...

Plants have different amounts of DNA in each cell (i.e. their genome) and the tiniest genome in some species is 2400 times smaller than the biggest genome in other species. While researchers have ...
