Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 1986
Within complements the chiasma frequency per chromosome, which directly reflects the amount of recombination, is generally closely correlated with chromosome length, i.e. the chromosomal DNA content. The correlation does not apply when comparisons are made between the complements of different species.

Chromosoma, 1972
Nuclear DNA amounts of fifteen species of placental mammals were determined by Feulgen cytophotometry. Relative values for several widely used species have been ascertained with an error of only a few percent. Absolute values (picograms or numbers of nucleotide pairs) can be determined with an error of about ten percent.

Genome Size and Species Diversification [PDF]
Evolutionary Biology, 2010 Theoretically, there are reasons to believe that large genome size should favour speciation. Several major factors contributing to genome size, such as duplications and transposable element activity have been proposed to facilitate the formation of new species. However, it is also possible that small genome size promotes speciation.

Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, 1996
This manuscript examines genome size in bacteria. The opposing capability of bacteria to alter their genome sizes and order of genes within limits yet remain somewhat constant provides a mechanisms for diversity and evolution in bacterial populations. Bacteria may have evolved by increasing their genome size and changing gene orders with the assistance

The problem of the eukaryotic genome size
Biochemistry (Moscow), 2008The current state of knowledge concerning the unsolved problem of the huge interspecific eukaryotic genome size variations not correlating with the species phenotypic complexity (C-value enigma also known as C-value paradox) is reviewed. Characteristic features of eukaryotic genome structure and molecular mechanisms that are the basis of genome size ...

Genome size evolution in macroparasites
International Journal for Parasitology, 2015Reduction in genome size has been associated not only with a parasitic lifestyle in intracellular microparasites but also in some macroparasitic insects and nematodes. We collected the available data on genome size for flatworms, annelids, nematodes and arthropods, compared those with available data for the phylogenetically closest free-living taxa and

Genome Size of Mycoplasmal DNA
Nature, 1969ELECTRON microscopic studies of the contour length of DNA from a mycoplasma species, Mycoplasma hominis (H 39)1, have shown that the DNA in this organism is organized in a single circular chromosome, 262 microns long, corresponding to a molecular weight of 5.0 × 108 daltons.

On the Evolution of Genome Size of Birds
Journal of Heredity, 1991We measured genome size (nuclear DNA content) by fluorescence flow cytometry in 55 species of birds representing 12 different orders. Similar studies were performed in approximately 100 species by laboratories using absorption cytophotometry of Feulgen-stained nuclei.

Genome size and longevity in fish
Experimental Gerontology, 2003The wide variety of genome sizes (measured as C-value) observed across taxa is not related to organismal complexity or number of coding genes. Partial answers to this C-value enigma have been found by establishing associations between C-value and particular phenotypic characteristics.

Estimation of genome sizes of hyperthermophiles
Extremophiles, 1998Genomes of various hyperthermophilic and extremely thermophilic prokaryotes were analyzed with respect to size, physical organization, and 16S rDNA copy number. Our results show that all the genomes are circular, and they are in the size range of 1.6-1.8 Mb for Pyrodictium abyssi, Methanococcus igneus, Pyrobaculum aerophilum, Archaeoglobus fulgidus ...
