1 One rarely pauses to ponder how so much DNA — let alone sugar, proteins, and everything else — can fit inside such a small vessel. Biochemistry textbooks depict cells as spacious places, where molecules float in secluded harmony. Without mathematics, I learned, biology is naked; we can only comprehend it at arm's length.

And what they found, remarkably, is the world’s largest genome ; each fern cell contains 160.45 billion bases of DNA which, if unfurled, would extend for more than 100 meters—taller than the Statue of Liberty. billion bases of DNA, the human genome measures just 2 meters in length when stretched end-to-end.

As such, it has been proposed that inhibiting CDK7 would provide a potent means of inhibiting cell cycle progression, which may be especially relevant given that there is compelling evidence from gene knockout studies in mice for lack of an absolute requirement for CDK2, CDK4 and CDK6 for the cell cycle at least in most cell types (M alumbres et al.,

Thanks to decades of progress in molecular sequencing technologies, it is simple to read out the order of nucleotides in a DNA sequence, for example, or to quantify messenger RNAs as they are made by a cell.
