The fast and reliable estimation of the genome sizes of various species would allow for a systematic analysis of many organisms and could reveal insights into evolutionary processes. Many methods for the estimation of genome sizes have already been described. The classical methods are based on the determination of the phosphate content in the DNA backbone of total DNA isolated from a defined number of cells or on reassociation kinetics of high molecular weight genomic DNA (c(0)t assay).
