Abstract excerpt
The complete sequence of Vitis vinifera revealed that the rosid clade derives from a hexaploid ancestor. At present, no analysis of complete genome sequence is available for an asterid, the other large eudicot clade, which includes the economically important species potato, tomato and coffee. To elucidate the genomic history of asterids, we compared the sequence of an 800 kb region of diploid Coffea genome to the...
