Genomics Lite: What's the biggest genome?
Genomics Lite is a series of public webinars, in this session we explored genome size, what organism has the largest genome and how do we go about sequencing these large genomes.
In this Genomics Lite session, Sam and Jack speak to staff from the Wellcome Sanger Institute and Kew Royal Botanic Gardens to explore genome size of different organisms. We discussed what we mean by genome size, how we measure it and how the largest genome ever relates to the size of our own genome. We also took a look at what is needed to sequence these really large genomes.
