A method of visualizing k-mers, the k-mer spectrum, shows the multiplicity of each k-mer in a sequence versus the number of k-mers with that multiplicity. [6] The number of modes in a k-mer spectrum for a species's genome varies, with most species having a unimodal distribution. [7] However, all mammals have a multimodal distribution.
Pelagia noctiluca is a jellyfish in the family Pelagiidae and the only currently recognized species in the genus Pelagia. [1] It is typically known in English as the mauve stinger, [3] [4] but other common names are purple-striped jelly (causing potential confusion with Chrysaora colorata), [5] purple stinger, purple people eater, [6] purple jellyfish, luminous jellyfish and night-light ...

Craspedacusta sowerbii or peach blossom jellyfish [1] is a species of freshwater hydrozoan jellyfish, or hydromedusa cnidarian. Hydromedusan jellyfish differ from scyphozoan jellyfish because they have a muscular, shelf-like structure called a velum on the ventral surface, attached to the bell margin.
Siphonophorae (from Greek siphōn 'tube' + pherein 'to bear' [2]) is an order within Hydrozoa, which is a class of marine organisms within the phylum Cnidaria.According to the World Register of Marine Species, the order contains 175 species described thus far.
Aurelia aurita (also called the common jellyfish, moon jellyfish, moon jelly or saucer jelly) is a species of the family Ulmaridae. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] All species in the genus are very similar, and it is difficult to identify Aurelia medusae without genetic sampling; [ 3 ] most of what follows applies equally to all species of the genus.
Mayo Clinic states that most jellyfish stings, unless severe symptoms are also present, can be treated by: Carefully plucking visible tentacles from the skin with fine tweezers Soaking the skin in ...
Cubozoa is a group commonly known as box jellyfish, that occur in tropical and warm temperate seas. They have cube-shaped, transparent medusae and are heavily-armed with venomous nematocysts. Cubozoans have planula larvae, which settle and develop into sessile polyps, which subsequently metamorphose into sexual medusae, [ 11 ] the oral end of ...
