We studied the natural hybrid (Fragaria ×ananassa subsp. cuneifolia) between
two sexually dimorphic octoploid strawberry species (F. virginiana and F.
chiloensis) to gain insight into the dynamics of sex chromosomes and the
genesis of sexual dimorphism. Male sterility is dominant in both the parental
species and thus will be inherited...

The objectives of this study were to determine the extent of absorption of functionalized
single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) across the gut epithelial cells in Daphnia magna.
Several microscopic techniques were utilized, including micro-Raman spectroscopy, high-resolution
transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and selective area diffraction (SAD). In an
effort to examine the...

Despite knowledge that concerted evolution of high-copy loci is often imperfect,
studies that investigate the extent of intragenomic polymorphisms and comparisons
across a large number of species are rarely made. We present a bioinformatic pipeline
for characterizing polymorphisms within an individual among copies of a high-copy
locus. Results are presented...

Whole-genome duplications are radical evolutionary events that have driven speciation and adaptation in many taxa. Higher-order
polyploids have complex histories often including interspecific hybridization and dynamic genomic changes. This chromosomal
reshuffling is poorly understood for most polyploid species, despite their evolutionary and agricultural importance, due to the
challenge of distinguishing...

Eucalypts are the world’s most widely planted hardwood trees. Their outstanding diversity, adaptability and growth have
made them a global renewable resource of fibre and energy. We sequenced and assembled >94% of the 640-megabase
genome of Eucalyptus grandis. Of 36,376 predicted protein-coding genes, 34% occur in tandem duplications, the largest...

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) of DNA from the plastid to the nuclear and mitochondrial genomes of higher plants is a common
phenomenon; however, plastid genomes (plastomes) are highly conserved and have generally been regarded as impervious to HGT.
We sequenced the 158 kb plastome and the 690 kb mitochondrial genome...

• Premise of the study: The dramatic advances offered by modern DNA sequencers continue to redefine the limits of what can be accomplished in comparative plant biology. Even with recent achievements, however, plant genomes present obstacles that can make it difficult to execute large-scale population and phylogenetic studies on next-generation...

BACKGROUND: As it becomes increasingly possible to obtain DNA sequences of orthologous genes from diverse sets
of taxa, species trees are frequently being inferred from multilocus data. However, the behavior of many methods for
performing this inference has remained largely unexplored. Some methods have been proven to be consistent given...
