- Each cell only contains 70 fg of DNA ([Animal Genome Size Database](http://www.genomesize.com/result_species.php?id=1308)).
- - Size estimated to 72 ± 13 Mb (min 32.6~65 Mb) by [[Seo et al, 2001|biblio/11752568]].
- - A genome was assembled from the shotgun sequencing of sperm DNA from ~200 partially
- inbred males (11 successive sib-matings). Two distinct haplotypes were found
