Journal ArticleDOI
A unified mixed-model method for association mapping that accounts for multiple levels of relatedness
Jianming Yu,Gaël Pressoir,William H. Briggs,Irie Vroh Bi,Masanori Yamasaki,John Doebley,Michael D. McMullen,Michael D. McMullen,Brandon S. Gaut,Dahlia M. Nielsen,James B. Holland,James B. Holland,Stephen Kresovich,Edward S. Buckler,Edward S. Buckler +14 more
TL;DR: A unified mixed-model approach to account for multiple levels of relatedness simultaneously as detected by random genetic markers is developed and provides a powerful complement to currently available methods for association mapping.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Molecular Genetics of Crop Domestication
TL;DR: The list of genes to date tentatively suggests that diverse plant developmental pathways were the targets of Neolithic "genetic tinkering," and the authors are now closer to understanding how plant development was redirected to meet the needs of a hungry world.
Journal ArticleDOI
The paleontology of intergene retrotransposons of maize
TL;DR: The structure of the adh1 region appears to be standard relative to the other gene-containing regions of the maize genome, thus suggesting that retrotransposon insertions have increased the size of the corn genome from approximately 1200 Mb to 2400 Mb in the last three million years.
Journal ArticleDOI
A likelihood approach for comparing synonymous and nonsynonymous nucleotide substitution rates, with application to the chloroplast genome.
Spencer V. Muse,Brandon S. Gaut +1 more
TL;DR: Simulations help confirm previous suggestions that silent sites are saturated, leaving no evidence of heterogeneity in synonymous substitution rates, and confirm previous findings that substitution rates in the chloroplast genome are subject to both lineage-specific and locus-specific effects.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Arabidopsis lyrata genome sequence and the basis of rapid genome size change

TL;DR: The 207-Mb genome sequence of the North American Arabidopsis lyrata strain MN47, based on 8.3× dideoxy sequence coverage, is reported, indicating pervasive selection for a smaller genome in this outcrossing species.
