By comparing two annual killifish genomes, this study shows that Garcialebias charrua experienced a recent and unusually large genome expansion driven mainly by repetitive elements. The analysis links transposable element bursts with 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 opportunities to learn about the evolutionary fate of a duplicated vertebrate …
Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is the world’s most important non-grain food crop and is central to global food security. It is clonally propagated, highly heterozygous, autotetraploid, and suffers acute inbreeding depression. Here we use a homozygous …
