Certain types of gene families, such as those encoding most families of transcription factors, maintain their chromosomal syntenic positions throughout Angiosperm evolutionary time. Other, non-synteni
The plant genus Oenothera has played an important role in the study of genome evolution and plant defense and reproduction. Here, we built on the 1kp transcriptomic dataset and developed a molecular r
Background: Asexual reproduction has the potential to enhance deleterious mutation accumulation and to constrain adaptive evolution. One source of mutations that can be especially relevant in recent a
