Abstract excerpt
Arabidopsis thaliana is now a model system, not just for plant biology but also for comparative genomics. The completion of the sequences of two closely related species, Arabidopsis lyrata and Brassica rapa, is complemented by genomic comparisons among A. thaliana accessions and mutation accumulation lines. Together these genomic data document the birth of new genes via gene duplication, transposon exaptation and...
