Genome size (also known as the C-value) refers to the total amount of DNA contained within one copy of a single complete genome; it is broadly constant within an organism (Greilhuber et al., 2005; Swift, 1950). More and more species' genome sizes have been assessed since early studies in the 1950s, covering more than 12,273
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
