Journal ArticleDOI
Conservation genetics: beyond the maintenance of marker diversity
TL;DR: Development of genealogical based analytical methods coupled with studies of DNA sequence variation within and among populations is likely to yield the most information on demographic processes from genetic marker data.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The results suggest that the Angiosperms353 probe set described here is effective for any group of flowering plants and would be useful for phylogenetic studies from the species level to higher-order groups, including the entire angiosperm clade itself.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identifying the Basal Angiosperm Node in Chloroplast Genome Phylogenies: Sampling One's Way Out of the Felsenstein Zone
Jim Leebens-Mack,Linda A. Raubeson,Liying Cui,Jennifer V. Kuehl,Matthew H. Fourcade,Timothy W. Chumley,Jeffrey L. Boore,Jeffrey L. Boore,Robert K. Jansen,Claude W. dePamphilis +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors extracted protein-coding regions from draft sequences for six additional chloroplast genomes to test whether this surprising result could be an artifact of long-branch attraction due to limited taxon sampling.

Identifying the Basal Angiosperm Node in Chloroplast Genome Phylogenies: Sampling One's Way Out of the Felsenstein Zone

TL;DR: Whereas long sequences reduce variance in branch lengths and molecular dating estimates, the impact of improved taxon sampling on the rooting of the angiosperm phylogeny together with the results of parametric bootstrap analyses demonstrate how long-branch attraction might mislead genome-scale phylogenetic analyses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Single Nucleotide Polymorphism-based Genetic Diversity in the Reference Set of Peanut (Arachis spp.) by Developing and Applying Cost-Effective Kompetitive Allele Specific Polymerase Chain Reaction Genotyping Assays
Pawan Khera,Hari D. Upadhyaya,Manish K. Pandey,Manish Roorkiwal,Manda Sriswathi,Pasupuleti Janila,Yufang Guo,Michael R. McKain,Ervin D. Nagy,Steven J. Knapp,Jim Leebens-Mack,Joann A. Conner,Peggy Ozias-Akins,Rajeev K. Varshney,Rajeev K. Varshney +14 more
TL;DR: These validated and highly informative GKAMs may be useful for genetics and breeding applications in Arachis species and are screened on 280 diverse genotypes of the reference set for estimating diversity features and elucidating genetic relationships.
