Journal ArticleDOI

Genome sequencing and analysis of the model grass Brachypodium distachyon

John P. Vogel, +136 more
- 11 Feb 2010 - 
TL;DR: The high-quality genome sequence will help Brachypodium reach its potential as an important model system for developing new energy and food crops and establishes a template for analysis of the large genomes of economically important pooid grasses such as wheat.
Journal ArticleDOI

The ecoresponsive genome of Daphnia pulex

John K. Colbourne, +85 more
- 04 Feb 2011 - 
TL;DR: The Daphnia genome reveals a multitude of genes and shows adaptation through gene family expansions, and the coexpansion of gene families interacting within metabolic pathways suggests that the maintenance of duplicated genes is not random.
Journal ArticleDOI

DNA Transposons and the Evolution of Eukaryotic Genomes

TL;DR: This review focuses on DNA-mediated or class 2 transposons and emphasizes how this class of elements is distinguished from other types of mobile elements in terms of their structure, amplification dynamics, and genomic effect.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sequencing of Culex quinquefasciatus Establishes a Platform for Mosquito Comparative Genomics

Peter Arensburger, +81 more
- 01 Oct 2010 - 
TL;DR: The genomic sequence of C. quinquefasciatus is described, which reveals distinctions related to vector capacities and habitat preferences, and confirmed that inoculation with unfamiliar bacteria prompted strong immune responses in Culex.
Journal ArticleDOI

Algal genomes reveal evolutionary mosaicism and the fate of nucleomorphs.

Bruce A. Curtis, +89 more
- 06 Dec 2012 - 
TL;DR: The nuclear genomes of the cryptophyte Guillardia theta and the chlorarachniophyte Bigelowiella natans are sequenced and extensive genetic and biochemical mosaicism is revealed, with both host- and endosymbiont-derived genes servicing the mitochondrion, the host cell cytosol, the plastid and the remnant endosYmbionT cytOSol of both algae.
