Unraveling the genetic code of the loblolly pine tree, the researchers have claimed to have developed the longest genome sequence to date. Researchers say, the loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) can grow over 100 feet (30 meters) tall and it has a lengthy genome to match, with 23 billion base pairs. Its genome is more than seven times the size of the human genome, which has three billion base … [Read more...]
