Genome sequence and analysis of the tuber crop potato.

Xun Xu, +96 more
- 10 Jul 2011 - 
TL;DR: The potato genome sequence provides a platform for genetic improvement of this vital crop and predicts 39,031 protein-coding genes and presents evidence for at least two genome duplication events indicative of a palaeopolyploid origin.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification and distribution of the NBS-LRR gene family in the Cassava genome

TL;DR: This study provides insight into the evolution of NBS-LRR genes in the cassava genome; the phylogenetic and mapping information may aid efforts to further characterize the function of these predicted R genes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide identification and mapping of NBS-encoding resistance genes in Solanum tuberosum group phureja.

TL;DR: In the recently sequenced Solanum tuberosum group phureja genome, a surprising ∼41% (179) of the 435 NBS-encoding genes are pseudogenes primarily caused by premature stop codons or frameshift mutations, and these genes are found in high density clusters on 11 chromosomes.
