Advancing Data Reuse in Phyloinformatics Using an Ontology-Driven Semantic Web Approach
(2013-11-11)
Abstract
Phylogenetic analyses can resolve historical relationships among genes, organisms or higher taxa. Understanding such relationships can elucidate a wide range of biological phenomena, ...
Floral homeotic C function genes repress specific B function genes in the carpel whorl of the basal eudicot California poppy (Eschscholzia californica)
(2010-12-01)
Abstract
Background
The floral homeotic C function gene AGAMOUS (AG) confers stamen and carpel identity and is involved in the regulation of floral meristem termination in Arabidopsis. Arabidopsis ag mutants show ...
Characterization of the basal angiosperm Aristolochia fimbriata: a potential experimental system for genetic studies
(2013-01-24)
Abstract
Background
Previous studies in basal angiosperms have provided insight into the diversity within the angiosperm lineage and helped to polarize analyses of flowering plant evolution. ...
A genome triplication associated with early diversification of the core eudicots
(2012-01-26)
Abstract
Background
Although it is agreed that a major polyploidy event, gamma, occurred within the eudicots, the phylogenetic placement of the event remains unclear.
Results
To determine when this polyploidization ...
Gene families as soft cliques with backbones: Amborella contrasted with other flowering plants
(2014-10-17)
Abstract
Background
Chaining is a major problem in constructing gene families.
...
Data access for the 1,000 Plants (1KP) project
(2014-10-27)
Abstract
The 1,000 plants (1KP) project is an international multi-disciplinary consortium that has generated transcriptome data from over 1,000 plant species, with exemplars for all of the major lineages ...
A physical map for the Amborella trichopoda genome sheds light on the evolution of angiosperm genome structure
(2011-05-27)
Abstract
Background
Recent phylogenetic analyses have identified Amborella trichopoda, an understory tree species endemic to the forests of New Caledonia, as sister to a clade including all other known flowering plant ...
Identification of shared single copy nuclear genes in Arabidopsis, Populus, Vitis and Oryza and their phylogenetic utility across various taxonomic levels
(2010-02-24)
Abstract
Background
Although the overwhelming majority of genes found in angiosperms are members of gene families, and both gene- and genome-duplication are pervasive forces in plant genomes, some genes are sufficiently ...
