The ABC's of comparative genomics in the Brassicaceae: building blocks of crucifer genomes
In this review we summarize recent advances in our understanding of phylogenetics,
polyploidization and comparative genomics in the family Brassicaceae. These findings pave …

Combining population genomics and quantitative genetics: finding the genes underlying ecologically important traits
JR Stinchcombe, HE Hoekstra - Heredity, 2008 - nature.com
A central challenge in evolutionary biology is to identify genes underlying ecologically
important traits and describe the fitness consequences of naturally occurring variation at …

Polyploidy and angiosperm diversification
Polyploidy has long been recognized as a major force in angiosperm evolution. Recent
genomic investigations not only indicate that polyploidy is ubiquitous among angiosperms …

The Arabidopsis lyrata genome sequence and the basis of rapid genome size change
We report the 207-Mb genome sequence of the North American Arabidopsis lyrata strain
MN47 based on 8.3× dideoxy sequence coverage. We predict 32,670 genes in this …

Deciphering the Diploid Ancestral Genome of the Mesohexaploid Brassica rapa
The genus Brassica includes several important agricultural and horticultural crops. Their
current genome structures were shaped by whole-genome triplication followed by extensive …

Unraveling ancient hexaploidy through multiply-aligned angiosperm gene maps
Large-scale (segmental or whole) genome duplication has been recurring in angiosperm
evolution. Subsequent gene loss and rearrangements further affect gene copy numbers and …

Chromosome triplication found across the tribe Brassiceae
We have used an∼ 8.7-Mb BAC contig of Arabidopsis thaliana Chromosome 4 to trace
homeologous chromosome regions in 21 species of the family Brassicaceae. Homeologs of …

Segmental Structure of the Brassica napus Genome Based on Comparative Analysis With Arabidopsis thaliana
Over 1000 genetically linked RFLP loci in Brassica napus were mapped to homologous
positions in the Arabidopsis genome on the basis of sequence similarity. Blocks of …

Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) host-plant variants: two host strains or two distinct species?
The moth Spodoptera frugiperda is a well-known pest of crops throughout the Americas,
which consists of two strains adapted to different host-plants: the first feeds preferentially on …
