Three databases now offer accessible eukaryotic genome size data for over 10,000 species. This information is crucial for genomics, biodiversity studies, and estimating sequencing costs.

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Bioinformatics
  • Comparative Genomics

Background:

  • Genome size is a fundamental characteristic of eukaryotic species.
  • Accurate genome size data is essential for various biological research fields.
  • Previous data compilation efforts were fragmented.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To announce and describe three major databases for eukaryotic genome size information.
  • To highlight the accessibility and scope of these newly released/updated resources.
  • To underscore the importance of genome size data in contemporary biological research.

Main Methods:

  • Compilation of data from over 50 years of scientific literature.
  • Establishment and maintenance of three independent, publicly accessible databases: Plant DNA C-values Database, Animal Genome Size Database, and Fungal Genome Size Database.

  • Data curation and organization for over 10,000 eukaryotic species.

    • Main Results:

    • Three comprehensive databases for plant, animal, and fungal genome sizes are now available.
    • These databases collectively house data for more than 10,000 eukaryotic species.
    • Data is freely accessible to the scientific community.

    Conclusions:

    • These databases provide a vital, centralized resource for eukaryotic genome size information.
    • The data supports fundamental research in genomics, comparative biodiversity, and evolutionary biology.
    • Accessible genome size data aids in planning and estimating costs for genome sequencing projects.
