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.
