Size of the genetic elements
If I remember correctly then Ds is like Ac but has deletions, so it is smaller. Either way the size, in bp, should be given in the article. I believe for Ac it is about 4600 bp. Perhaps someone can confirm this; I wasn't sure which entry at NCBI is for the Ac element, there seem to be several entries (guess I refer to the maize variant). 2A02:8388:1602:6D80:FA9F:8D5F:B40F:A65A (talk) 12:50, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
