Genome Skimming Reveals Widespread Hybridization in a Neotropical Flowering Plant Radiation

نویسندگان

چکیده

The tropics hold at least an order of magnitude greater plant diversity than the temperate zone, yet reasons for this difference are still subject to debate. Much tropical is in highly speciose genera and understanding drivers such high species richness will help solve enigma. Hybridization has recently been shown underlie many adaptive radiations, but its role evolution received little attention. Here, we address topic hyperdiverse Bromeliaceae genus Vriesea using genome skimming data covering three genomic compartments. We find evidence hybridization ca. 11% our dataset, both within between other genera, which commensurate with underlying hyperdiversity , potentially Tillandsioideae. While additional research be needed further clarify contribution rapid diversification study provides important first point suggesting importance diversity.

Comparative genome hybridization reveals widespread aneuploidy in Candida albicans laboratory strains.

Clinical strains of Candida albicans are highly tolerant of aneuploidies and other genome rearrangements. We have used comparative genome hybridization (CGH), in an array format, to analyse the copy number of over 6000 open reading frames (ORFs) in the genomic DNA of C. albicans laboratory strains carrying one (CAI-4) to three (BWP17) auxotrophies. We find that during disruption of the HIS1 loc...

Widespread genome duplications throughout the history of flowering plants.

Genomic comparisons provide evidence for ancient genome-wide duplications in a diverse array of animals and plants. We developed a birth-death model to identify evidence for genome duplication in EST data, and applied a mixture model to estimate the age distribution of paralogous pairs identified in EST sets for species representing the basal-most extant flowering plant lineages. We found evide...

Genomic variation in a widespread Neotropical bird (Xenops minutus) reveals divergence, population expansion, and gene flow.

The demographic and phylogeographic histories of species provide insight into the processes responsible for generating biological diversity, and genomic datasets are now permitting the estimation of species histories with unprecedented accuracy. We used a genomic single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) dataset generated using a RAD-Seq method to investigate the historical demography and phylogeogr...

Comparative whole-genome hybridization reveals genomic islands in Brucella species.

Brucella species are responsible for brucellosis, a worldwide zoonotic disease causing abortion in domestic animals and Malta fever in humans. Based on host preference, the genus is divided into six species. Brucella abortus, B. melitensis, and B. suis are pathogenic to humans, whereas B. ovis and B. neotomae are nonpathogenic to humans and B. canis human infections are rare. Limited genome div...

A Nonparametric Test Reveals Selection for Rapid Flowering in the Arabidopsis Genome

The detection of footprints of natural selection in genetic polymorphism data is fundamental to understanding the genetic basis of adaptation, and has important implications for human health. The standard approach has been to reject neutrality in favor of selection if the pattern of variation at a candidate locus was significantly different from the predictions of the standard neutral model. Th...
