A physical map of Brassica oleracea shows complexity of chromosomal changes following recursive paleopolyploidizations
(2011-09-28)
Abstract
Background
Evolution of the Brassica species has been recursively affected by polyploidy events, and comparison to their relative, Arabidopsis thaliana, provides means to explore their genomic complexity.

Screening synteny blocks in pairwise genome comparisons through integer programming
(2011-04-18)
Abstract
Background
It is difficult to accurately interpret chromosomal correspondences such as true orthology and paralogy due to significant divergence of genomes from a common ancestor. Analyses are particularly ...
Genome of the long-living sacred lotus (Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn.)
(2013-05-10)
Abstract
Background
Sacred lotus is a basal eudicot with agricultural, medicinal, cultural and religious importance. It was domesticated in Asia about 7,000 years ago, and cultivated for its rhizomes and seeds as a food ...
Comparative genomic analysis of C4 photosynthetic pathway evolution in grasses
(2009-06-23)
Abstract
Background
Sorghum is the first C4 plant and the second grass with a full genome sequence available. This makes it possible ...
Complexity of genome evolution by segmental rearrangement in Brassica rapa revealed by sequence-level analysis
(2009-11-18)
Abstract
Background
The Brassica species, related to Arabidopsis thaliana, include an important group of crops and represent an ...
SNPhylo: a pipeline to construct a phylogenetic tree from huge SNP data
(2014-02-26)
Abstract
Background
Phylogenetic trees are widely used for genetic and evolutionary studies in various organisms. Advanced sequencing technology has dramatically enriched data available for ...
Sequencing of transcriptomes from two Miscanthus species reveals functional specificity in rhizomes, and clarifies evolutionary relationships
(2014-05-18)
Abstract
Background
Miscanthus is a promising biomass crop for temperate regions. Despite the increasing interest in this plant, limited sequence information has constrained research into ...
Transcriptome and methylome profiling reveals relics of genome dominance in the mesopolyploid Brassica oleracea
(2014-06-10)
Abstract
Background
Brassica oleracea is a valuable vegetable species that has contributed to human health and nutrition for hundreds of years and comprises ...
Genetic analysis of inflorescence and plant height components in sorghum (Panicoidae) and comparative genetics with rice (Oryzoidae)
(2015-04-19)
Abstract
Background
Domestication has played an important role in shaping characteristics of the inflorescence and plant height in cultivated cereals. Taking advantage of ...
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 ...
