Ancient whole-genome duplications (WGDs) have been uncovered in almost all major lineages of life on Earth and the search for traces or remnants such events has become standard practice most genome analyses. This is especially true plants, where ancient WGDs are abundant. Common approaches to find evidence include construction KS distributions analysis intragenomic colinearity. Despite increased interest acknowledgment their evolutionary importance, user-friendly comprehensive tools lacking. Here, we present an easy use command-line tool distribution named wgd. The wgd suite provides commonly used colinearity workflows together with modeling visualization, rendering these analyses accessible genomics researchers a convenient manner.wgd free open source software implemented Python available at https://github.com/arzwa/wgd.Supplementary data Bioinformatics online.

The evolution of land flora transformed the terrestrial environment. Land plants evolved from an ancestral charophycean alga which they inherited developmental, biochemical, and cell biological attributes. Additional biochemical physiological adaptations to land, a life cycle with alternation between multicellular haploid diploid generations that facilitated efficient dispersal desiccation tolerant spores, in plant. We analyzed genome liverwort Marchantia polymorpha, member basal plant lineage. Relative algae, genomes are characterized by genes encoding novel pathways, new phytohormone signaling pathways (notably auxin), expanded repertoires increased diversity some transcription factor families.

The coordinated expression of highly related homoeologous genes in polyploid species underlies the phenotypes many world's major crops. Here we combine extensive gene datasets to produce a comprehensive, genome-wide analysis homoeolog patterns hexaploid bread wheat. Bias varies between tissues, with ~30% wheat homoeologs showing nonbalanced expression. We found asymmetries along chromosomes, largest inter-tissue, inter-cultivar, and coding sequence variation, most often located high-recombination distal ends chromosomes. These transcriptionally dynamic potentially represent first steps toward neo- or subfunctionalization homoeologs. Coexpression networks reveal coordination throughout development and, alongside detailed atlas, provide framework target candidate underpinning agronomic traits

Cultivated strawberry emerged from the hybridization of two wild octoploid species, both descendants merger four diploid progenitor species into a single nucleus more than 1 million years ago. Here we report near-complete chromosome-scale assembly for cultivated (Fragaria × ananassa) and uncovered origin evolutionary processes that shaped this complex allopolyploid. We identified extant relatives each provide support North American strawberry. examined dynamics among subgenomes in presence dominant subgenome with significantly greater gene content, expression abundance, biased exchanges between homoeologous chromosomes, as compared other subgenomes. Pathway analysis showed certain metabolomic disease-resistance traits are largely controlled by subgenome.

Polyploidy has been hypothesized to be both an evolutionary dead-end and a source for innovation species diversification. Although polyploid organisms, especially plants, abound, the apparent nonrandom long-term establishment of genome duplications suggests link with environmental conditions. Whole-genome seem correlate periods extinction or global change, while polyploids often thrive in harsh disturbed environments. Evidence is also accumulating that biotic interactions, instance, pathogens mutualists, affect differently than nonpolyploids. Here, we review recent findings insights on effect abiotic stress versus nonpolyploids propose response general important even determining factor success polyploidy.

The draft genome of the moss model, Physcomitrella patens, comprised approximately 2000 unordered scaffolds. In order to enable analyses structure and evolution we generated a chromosome-scale assembly using genetic linkage as well (end) sequencing long DNA fragments. We find that 57% comprises transposable elements (TEs), some which may be actively transposing during life cycle. Unlike in flowering plant genomes, gene- TE-rich regions show an overall even distribution along chromosomes. However, chromosomes are mono-centric with peaks class Copia potentially coinciding centromeres. Gene body methylation is evident 5.7% protein-coding genes, typically low GC expression. Some giant virus insertions transcriptionally active might protect gametes from viral infection via siRNA mediated silencing. Structure-based detection methods evolved two rounds whole duplications (WGDs), apparently common mosses but not liverworts hornworts. Several hundred genes present colinear conserved since last ancestor plants. These syntenic enriched for functions related plant-specific cell growth tissue organization. P. patens lacks pericentromeric gene-rich distal typical most genomes. More non-seed genomes needed unravel how evolve, understand whether or bryophytes.
