2001|biblio/11752568]]. A 70.4 Mb genome "reference assembly" was later
produced from the shotgun sequencing of sperm DNA from ~200 partially inbred
males (11 successive sib-matings). Two distinct haplotypes were found
- ([[Denoeud et al., 2010|biblio/21097902]]).
+ ([[Denoeud et al., 2010|biblio/21097902]]). In 2019, it is the smallest
+ sequenced chordate genome, but some [[nematodes|nematode]] have been found
+ with smaller genomes.
- Other oikopleuid genomes have been sequenced by [[Naville and coll. (2019)|biblio/30880010]]:
small genomes are also found in _O. longicauda_ (131 Mbp) and _F. borealis_ (91 Mbp).
There is an apparent correlation between organism size and genome size:
