Abstract:

We determined the genome size of the Brazilian sciarid flies Bradysia
hygida, Rhynchosciara americana and Trichosia pubescens (Diptera:
Sciaridae) using absorbance measurements of Feulgen-stained nuclei
belonging to these species (and chicken erythrocytes as a standard)
to calculate the amount of DNA in picograms (pg) and the number of
base pairs (bp), or C-value, for each of these species
Taxonomic name: 
Sciaridae (Classification), Bradysia (Classification), Rhynchosciara (Classification), Trichosia (Classification)
