The grapevine genome sequence suggests ancestral hexaploidization in major angiosperm phyla
- O. Jaillon, J. Aury, +53 authors P. Wincker
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 26 August 2007
The analysis of the first plant genomes provided unexpected evidence for genome duplication events in species that had previously been considered as true diploids on the basis of their genetics.… Expand
Genome duplication in the teleost fish Tetraodon nigroviridis reveals the early vertebrate proto-karyotype
- O. Jaillon, J. Aury, +58 authors H. R. Crollius
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 21 October 2004
Tetraodon nigroviridis is a freshwater puffer fish with the smallest known vertebrate genome. Here, we report a draft genome sequence with long-range linkage and substantial anchoring to the 21… Expand
The rainbow trout genome provides novel insights into evolution after whole-genome duplication in vertebrates
- C. Berthelot, F. Brunet, +27 authors Yann Guiguen
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature communications
- 22 April 2014
Vertebrate evolution has been shaped by several rounds of whole-genome duplications (WGDs) that are often suggested to be associated with adaptive radiations and evolutionary innovations. Due to an… Expand
The banana (Musa acuminata) genome and the evolution of monocotyledonous plants
- A. D'hont, F. Denoeud, +61 authors P. Wincker
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 9 August 2012
Bananas (Musa spp.), including dessert and cooking types, are giant perennial monocotyledonous herbs of the order Zingiberales, a sister group to the well-studied Poales, which include cereals.… Expand
Genome evolution across 1,011 Saccharomyces cerevisiae isolates
- Jackson Peter, Matteo De Chiara, +18 authors Joseph Schacherer
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 11 April 2018
Large-scale population genomic surveys are essential to explore the phenotypic diversity of natural populations. Here we report the whole-genome sequencing and phenotyping of 1,011 Saccharomyces… Expand
The genome of Theobroma cacao
We sequenced and assembled the draft genome of Theobroma cacao, an economically important tropical-fruit tree crop that is the source of chocolate. This assembly corresponds to 76% of the estimated… Expand
Genomic evidence for ameiotic evolution in the bdelloid rotifer Adineta vaga
- Jean-François Flot, B. Hespeels, +37 authors K. Doninck
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 21 July 2013
Loss of sexual reproduction is considered an evolutionary dead end for metazoans, but bdelloid rotifers challenge this view as they appear to have persisted asexually for millions of years. Neither… Expand
Gene loss and evolutionary rates following whole-genome duplication in teleost fishes.
- F. Brunet, H. Roest Crollius, +5 authors M. Robinson-Rechavi
- Biology, Medicine
- Molecular biology and evolution
- 1 September 2006
Teleost fishes provide the first unambiguous support for ancient whole-genome duplication in an animal lineage. Studies in yeast or plants have shown that the effects of such duplications can be… Expand
The coffee genome provides insight into the convergent evolution of caffeine biosynthesis
- F. Denoeud, L. Carretero-Paulet, +61 authors P. Lashermes
- Biology, Medicine
- Science
- 5 September 2014
Coffee, tea, and chocolate converge Caffeine has evolved multiple times among plant species, but no one knows whether these events involved similar genes. Denoeud et al. sequenced the Coffea… Expand
The Paramecium Germline Genome Provides a Niche for Intragenic Parasitic DNA: Evolutionary Dynamics of Internal Eliminated Sequences
- O. Arnaiz, N. Mathy, +17 authors L. Sperling
- Biology, Medicine
- PLoS genetics
- 1 October 2012
Insertions of parasitic DNA within coding sequences are usually deleterious and are generally counter-selected during evolution. Thanks to nuclear dimorphism, ciliates provide unique models to study… Expand
