Conifers have dominated forests for more than 200 million years and are of huge ecological
and economic importance. Here we present the draft assembly of the 20-gigabase genome …

The whole-genome duplication 80 million years ago of the common ancestor of salmonids (salmonid-specific
fourth vertebrate whole-genome duplication, Ss4R) provides unique …

Purpose: Patients with metastatic adenocarcinoma of unknown origin are a common clinical
problem. Knowledge of the primary site is important for their management, but histologically, …

Allohexaploid bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) provides approximately 20% of calories
consumed by humans. Lack of genome sequence for the three homeologous and highly …

Accessing and exploring large-scale genomics data sets remains a significant challenge to
researchers without specialist bioinformatics training. We present the integrated PlantGenIE. …

Trees represent the largest terrestrial carbon sink and a renewable source of ligno-cellulose.
There is significant scope for yield and quality improvement in these largely …

Background The functional divergence of duplicate genes (ohnologues) retained from whole
genome duplication (WGD) is thought to promote evolutionary diversification. However, …

Plant species have evolved myriads of solutions, including complex cell type development
and regulation, to adapt to dynamic environments. To understand this cellular diversity, we …

Background Whole genome duplication (WGD) events have played a major role in eukaryotic
genome evolution, but the consequence of these extreme events in adaptive genome …

While several studies have investigated general properties of the genetic architecture of
natural variation in gene expression, few of these have considered natural, outbreeding …
