Ginkgo Genome Studied
Public Domain by Douglas W. Jones
| The Ginkgo tree has a huge genome (with more than three times as many DNA letters than the human genome). Ginkgoes have also almost not changed in many million years, they are so-called living fossils. 270 million year old Ginkgo specimens are preserved in a rock and are investigated to understand the development and resilience of Ginkgoes. |
