Genome size of Mycoplasma genitalium [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1990 The genome size of Mycoplasma genitalium was determined by using restriction enzymes that infrequently cut its DNA. The calculated value of 577 to 590 kilobases is one-fourth smaller than the genome of Mycoplasma pneumoniae, which is considered among the smallest genomes of self-replicating organisms.

Size isn’t everything:rates of genome size evolution, not C value, correlate with speciation in angiosperms [PDF]
, 2015 Angiosperms represent one of the key examples of evolutionary success, and their diversity dwarfs other land plants; this success has been linked, in part, to genome size and phenomena such as whole genome duplication events.

Causes and Effects of Loss of Classical Nonhomologous End Joining Pathway in Parasitic Eukaryotes
mBio, 2019 We report frequent losses of components of the classical nonhomologous end joining pathway (C-NHEJ), one of the main eukaryotic tools for end joining repair of DNA double-strand breaks, in several lineages of parasitic protists.

A Flow Cytometry-Based Assessment of the Genomic Size and Ploidy Level of Wild Musa Species in India
Plants, 2023 The genome size variation is an important attribute in evolutionary and species characterization. Musa L. is regarded as one of the taxonomically complicated genera within the order Zingiberales, with more than 75 species from wild seeded to seedless ...

Evolution of genome size in asexual populations
, 2015 Genome sizes have evolved to vary widely, from 250 bases in viroids to 670 billion bases in amoeba. This remarkable variation in genome size is the outcome of complex interactions between various evolutionary factors such as point mutation rate ...

Comparative cytogenetic analysis of diploid and hexaploid Chenopodium album Agg
Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2011 Two cytotypes of Chenopodium album, diploid (2n=2x=18) and hexaploid (2n=6x=54), were analysed using flow cytometry and a FISH experiment. The genome size was indicated as 1.795 pg for the diploid and 3.845 pg for the hexaploid plants which suggested ...
