Genic C-methylation in soybean is associated with gene paralogs relocated to transposable element-rich pericentromeres
Most plants are polyploid due to whole-genome duplications (WGD) and can thus have
duplicated genes. Following a WGD, paralogs are often fractionated (lost) and few duplicate …

Patterns and consequences of subgenome differentiation provide insights into the nature of paleopolyploidy in plants
Polyploidy is an important feature of plant genomes, but the nature of many polyploidization
events remains to be elucidated. Here, we demonstrate that the evolutionary fates of the …

Pericentromeric effects shape the patterns of divergence, retention, and expression of duplicated genes in the paleopolyploid soybean
The evolutionary forces that govern the divergence and retention of duplicated genes in
polyploids are poorly understood. In this study, we first investigated the rates of …

Structural and functional divergence of a 1-Mb duplicated region in the soybean (Glycine max) genome and comparison to an orthologous region from Phaseolus …
Soybean (Glycine max) has undergone at least two rounds of polyploidization, resulting in a
paleopolyploid genome that is a mosaic of homoeologous regions. To determine the …
