Genome-size variation in bivalve molluscs determined by flow cytometry

Rodriguez-Juiz et al analyzed the nuclear DNA content of 200 individuals representing 10 species of bivalve molluscs belonging to various families by measuring the fluorescent signal of ethidium bromide-stained gill cells using flow cytometry. Mean genome sizes ranged from 2.23 pg per diploid nucleu...

Description
Summary:Rodriguez-Juiz et al analyzed the nuclear DNA content of 200 individuals representing 10 species of bivalve molluscs belonging to various families by measuring the fluorescent signal of ethidium bromide-stained gill cells using flow cytometry. Mean genome sizes ranged from 2.23 pg per diploid nucleus in Chlamys opercularis to 3.84 pg in Mytilidae galloprovincialis.
