Researchers previously thought that a small seaweed bruised in the Baltic Sea belonged to a species called Wrack Wrack. New research shows that it is in fact individuals in a giant clone of algae – perhaps the largest known clone in science. In a study published on February 17 in Molecular Ecology, researchers at the University of Gothenburg refuted the previous hypothesis that 310 miles (500 km) of seaweed in the Baltic Sea were narrow-fenced a…

Scientists Discover the World’s Largest Cloned Organism Thriving in the Baltic Sea

Marine researchers have uncovered what could be the most expansive cloned organism ever documented—an enormous seaweed specimen stretching over 300 miles along Sweden’s Baltic coast. This massive clone, identified as a “super female” of Fucus vesiculosus, better known as bladderwrack, has reshaped what scientists understand about marine ecosystems and genetic survival. A Hidden Giant Beneath […] The post Scientists Discover the World’s Largest C…
