Figure 2. Genome sizes in metazoans and plants. Relationships between metazoans groups is based on a consensus of Philippe et al. (2011)⁵⁵ and Rota-Stabelli et al. (2011).⁵⁶ Relationships within the plants is based on Adl et al. (2012).¹⁷ Genome size is log₍₁₀₎ haploid genome size in Gb. Bars indicates min to max genome sizes for a particular group. Dots within the bars indicate median genome size. Figures to the right of the bar are the number of records for that group, the figure within brackets is the percentage of genomes within that group that are > 20 Gb.The blue shading indicates genomes larger than 20 Gb. Groups with less than 3 records were not included. Most of the data is taken from databases listed on DOGs database.² Other references are too numerous to list but can be obtained from the authors on request. Duplicate records were removed so that the minimum genome size listed was kept.
