Insights into Land Plant Evolution Garnered from the Marchantia polymorpha Genome

John L. Bowman, +118 more
- 05 Oct 2017 - 
TL;DR: Compared with other sequenced land plants, M. polymorpha exhibits low genetic redundancy in most regulatory pathways, with this portion of its genome resembling that predicted for the ancestral land plant.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rare variant discovery by deep whole-genome sequencing of 1,070 Japanese individuals

TL;DR: The value of high-coverage sequencing for constructing population-specific variant panels, which covers 99.0% SNVs of minor allele frequency ≥0.1%, is demonstrated, and its value for identifying causal rare variants of complex human disease phenotypes in genetic association studies is demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evolution and diversity of the 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase superfamily in plants.

TL;DR: The vast majority of 2OGDs from land plants were classified into the DOXC class, but only seven from Chlamydomonas, suggesting that this class has diversified during land plant evolution, partly responsible for the diversity and complexity of specialized metabolites in land plants.

Functional Differentiation of the Glycosyltransferases That Contribute to the Chemical Diversity of Bioactive Flavonol Glycosides in Grapevines (Vitis vinifera)

TL;DR: The results presented here suggest that the sugar donor specificities of these Vv GTs could be determined by a limited number of amino acid substitutions in the primary structures of protein duplicates, illustrating the plasticity of plant glycosyltransferases in acquiring new sugar donor Specificities.
