Spider Found to Have Genome 50% Larger Than Human's
Original: This Unusual Spider’s Genome Is Roughly 50% Larger Than a Human’s
Researchers report that an unusual spider species carries a genome roughly one and a half times the size of the human genome. The finding highlights how genome size does not correlate with organismal complexity, and the spider's unusually large genetic makeup is drawing attention from biologists studying genome evolution and repetitive DNA sequences.
Why now: The surprising comparison to human genome size challenges assumptions about genetic complexity
