A unified mixed-model method for association mapping that accounts for multiple levels of relatedness

…, BS Gaut, DM Nielsen, JB Holland, S Kresovich… - Nature …, 2006 - nature.com
As population structure can result in spurious associations, it has constrained the use of
association studies in human and plant genetics. Association mapping, however, holds great …

Phylogenetics of seed plants: an analysis of nucleotide sequences from the plastid gene rbcL

…, KG Karol, WD Clark, M Hedren, BS Gaut… - Annals of the Missouri …, 1993 - JSTOR
We present the results of two exploratory parsimony analyses of DNA sequences from 475
and 499 species of seed plants, respectively, representing all major taxonomic groups. The …

[HTML][HTML] The molecular genetics of crop domestication

JF Doebley, BS Gaut, BD Smith - Cell, 2006 - cell.com
Ten thousand years ago human societies around the globe began to transition from hunting
and gathering to agriculture. By 4000 years ago, ancient peoples had completed the …

A likelihood approach for comparing synonymous and nonsynonymous nucleotide substitution rates, with application to the chloroplast genome.

SV Muse, BS Gaut - Molecular biology and evolution, 1994 - academic.oup.com
A model of DNA sequence evolution applicable to coding regions is presented. This represents
the first evolutionary model that accounts for dependencies among nucleotides within a …

The paleontology of intergene retrotransposons of maize

P SanMiguel, BS Gaut, A Tikhonov, Y Nakajima… - Nature …, 1998 - nature.com
Retrotransposons, transposable elements related to animal retroviruses, are found in all
eukaryotes investigated and make up the majority of many plant genomes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Their …

The effects of artificial selection on the maize genome

…, M Yamasaki, JF Doebley, MD McMullen, BS Gaut - Science, 2005 - science.org
Domestication promotes rapid phenotypic evolution through artificial selection. We investigated
the genetic history by which the wild grass teosinte (Zea mays ssp. parviglumis) was …

Patterns of DNA sequence polymorphism along chromosome 1 of maize (Zea mays ssp. mays L.)

…, RL Gaut, JF Doebley, BS Gaut - Proceedings of the …, 2001 - National Acad Sciences
We measured sequence diversity in 21 loci distributed along chromosome 1 of maize (Zea
mays ssp. mays L.). For each locus, we sequenced a common sample of 25 individuals …

The Arabidopsis lyrata genome sequence and the basis of rapid genome size change

…, ME Nasrallah, J Bergelson, JC Carrington, BS Gaut… - Nature …, 2011 - nature.com
We report the 207-Mb genome sequence of the North American Arabidopsis lyrata strain MN47
based on 8.3× dideoxy sequence coverage. We predict 32,670 genes in this outcrossing …

The molecular diversity of adaptive convergence

…, RL Gaut, P McDonald, AF Bennett, AD Long, BS Gaut - Science, 2012 - science.org
To estimate the number and diversity of beneficial mutations, we experimentally evolved 115
populations of Escherichia coli to 42.2C for 2000 generations and sequenced one genome …

DNA sequence evidence for the segmental allotetraploid origin of maize

BS Gaut, JF Doebley - … of the National Academy of Sciences, 1997 - National Acad Sciences
It has long been suspected that maize is the product of an historical tetraploid event. Several
observations support this possibility, including the fact that the maize genome contains …
