Genome sequence of the cultivated cotton Gossypium arboreum

TLDR
Comparative transcriptome studies showed the key role of the nucleotide binding site (NBS)-encoding gene family in resistance to Verticillium dahliae and the involvement of ethylene in the development of cotton fiber cells.
Abstract
Yu-Xian Zhu, Jun Wang, Shuxun Yu and colleagues report sequencing and assembly of the genome of cultivated cotton, Gossypium arboreum. Comparison with the Gossypium raimondii genome sequence provides insights into genome evolution and speciation, and identifies two shared whole-genome duplication events occurring before the speciation event around 2–13 million years ago.

Early allopolyploid evolution in the post-Neolithic Brassica napus oilseed genome

Boulos Chalhoub, +86 more
- 22 Aug 2014 - 
TL;DR: The polyploid genome of Brassica napus, which originated from a recent combination of two distinct genomes approximately 7500 years ago and gave rise to the crops of rape oilseed, is sequenced.

Gene duplication and evolution in recurring polyploidization-diploidization cycles in plants.

TL;DR: A comprehensive landscape of different modes of gene duplication across the plant kingdom is identified by comparing 141 genomes, which provides a solid foundation for further investigation of the dynamic evolution of duplicate genes.

MEGA5: Molecular Evolutionary Genetics Analysis using Maximum Likelihood, Evolutionary Distance, and Maximum Parsimony Methods

TL;DR: The newest addition in MEGA5 is a collection of maximum likelihood (ML) analyses for inferring evolutionary trees, selecting best-fit substitution models, inferring ancestral states and sequences, and estimating evolutionary rates site-by-site.

MUSCLE: multiple sequence alignment with high accuracy and high throughput

TL;DR: MUSCLE is a new computer program for creating multiple alignments of protein sequences that includes fast distance estimation using kmer counting, progressive alignment using a new profile function the authors call the log-expectation score, and refinement using tree-dependent restricted partitioning.

Gene Ontology: tool for the unification of biology

TL;DR: The goal of the Gene Ontology Consortium is to produce a dynamic, controlled vocabulary that can be applied to all eukaryotes even as knowledge of gene and protein roles in cells is accumulating and changing.

MrBayes 3.2: Efficient Bayesian Phylogenetic Inference and Model Choice across a Large Model Space

TL;DR: The new version provides convergence diagnostics and allows multiple analyses to be run in parallel with convergence progress monitored on the fly, and provides more output options than previously, including samples of ancestral states, site rates, site dN/dS rations, branch rates, and node dates.

Transcript assembly and quantification by RNA-Seq reveals unannotated transcripts and isoform switching during cell differentiation

TL;DR: The results suggest that Cufflinks can illuminate the substantial regulatory flexibility and complexity in even this well-studied model of muscle development and that it can improve transcriptome-based genome annotation.
