Animal Genome Size Database
- Animal Genome Size Database
The Animal Genome Size Database is a comprehensive catalogue of published genome size estimates for vertebrate and invertebrate animals. It was created in 2001 by Dr. T. Ryan Gregory of the University of Guelph in Canada. As of Septermber 2005, the database contains data for over 4,000 species of animals. A similar database, the Plant DNA C-values Database ("C-value" being analogous to "genome size" in diploid organisms) was created by researchers at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, in 1997.
