Humans
The organism with the largest genome size is the marbled lungfish, also known as Protopterus aethiopicus.
The organism with the largest genome among all living beings is the marbled lungfish.
The water flea species Daphnia pulex is barely more than a millimeter long, is completely translucent, has no clear divisions between their various body parts...and has the largest genome of any animal we've ever encountered. It has an incredible 31,000 genes in its genome, over 8,000 more than humans have. (Feb 2011)
The human genome, which contains 3.4 billion base pairs, is the largest sequenced to date. The genome of rice (Oryza sativa) is the largest and most complex fully-sequenced plant genome. It contains over 430 million base pairs and an estimated 46,022 to 55,615 genes. [Science 296(5565):79-92] In contrast, the human genome contains an estimated 23,299 genes. Genome size is independent of organismal complexity.

The haploid human genome is about 3000 times larger than a typical bacterial genome. The human genome contains around 3 billion base pairs, while bacterial genomes typically range from about 0.5 to 10 million base pairs.
The order from smallest to largest is: amino acid, allele, gene, DNA molecule, chromosome, genome, zygote, gamete, cell, and nucleus. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, while alleles are variations of genes. Genes are segments of DNA, which are organized into chromosomes. The genome encompasses all genetic material, and in multicellular organisms, zygotes and gametes are types of cells found in the nucleus.
DNA is a molecule. It is made up of multiple atoms joined together.
Sorangium cellulosum is a soil-dwelling Gram-negative bacteria of the group myxobacteria. It is motile and shows gliding motility. It has an unusually-large genome 12,200,000 base pairs in size. A more recent work sequenced the genome of Sorangium cellulosum So ce56 (a specific strain of the bacterium) and put its size at 13,033,779 base pairs making it the largest bacterial genome sequenced to date.
