What Limits a Genome’s Size?

Codon

Credit: Oriane Hidalgo Per the book Cell Biology by the Numbers , each base pair of DNA occupies 1 nm 3 of space. So how can a genome 50 times longer—equivalent to 2,000 kilometers of thread, or roughly the distance between Cairo and Rome—do the same?

Our knowledge of the deep-sea, the largest biome on Earth, is in its infancy. Water covers more than 70% of the planet and the deep-sea accounts for more than 300 million km 2 of the Earth’s surface. 1,2 Scientists have only scratched the surface of life in the ocean depths but there are intriguing benefits to studying its organisms and ecosystems.
