The Brassica oleracea genome reveals the asymmetrical evolution of polyploid genomes

Shengyi Liu, +84 more
TL;DR: A draft genome sequence of Brassica oleracea is described, comparing it with that of its sister species B. rapa to reveal numerous chromosome rearrangements and asymmetrical gene loss in duplicated genomic blocks.

Analysis of the genome sequence of the flowering plant Arabidopsis thaliana.

TL;DR: This is the first complete genome sequence of a plant and provides the foundations for more comprehensive comparison of conserved processes in all eukaryotes, identifying a wide range of plant-specific gene functions and establishing rapid systematic ways to identify genes for crop improvement.
Journal ArticleDOI

Unravelling angiosperm genome evolution by phylogenetic analysis of chromosomal duplication events

TL;DR: It is shown that a genome-wide duplication post-dates the divergence of Arabidopsis from most dicots, and that additional, more ancient duplication events affect more distant taxonomic comparisons.
Journal ArticleDOI

The origins of genomic duplications in Arabidopsis

TL;DR: It is shown that large segmental duplications cover much of the Arabidopsis thaliana genome and are primarily due to at least four different large-scale duplication events that occurred 100 to 200 million years ago.
