Dr. Pellicer's team discovered Tmesipteris oblanceolata, a tiny fern in a remote forest with a genome over 50 times larger than humans, challenging previous genome size assumptions.
Genomes are unexpectedly diverse; humans have 20,000 protein-coding genes, taking up just 1.5% of the total genome, highlighting the complexity and mystery of genetic structures.
