largest eukaryotic genome of them all

We report the largest eukaryotic genome to date in the monocot Paris japonica (Melanthiaceae, 1C = 152.23 pg), measured using flow cytometry. This value is 15% larger than any previous estimate and extends the range of genome sizes to c. 2400-fold across angiosperms and c. 66 000-fold across eukaryo...

Summary:We report the largest eukaryotic genome to date in the monocot Paris japonica (Melanthiaceae, 1C = 152.23 pg), measured using flow cytometry. This value is 15% larger than any previous estimate and extends the range of genome sizes to c. 2400-fold across angiosperms and c. 66 000-fold across eukaryotes.
