Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Modern allotetraploid cotton contains an "A" and "D" genome from an ancestral polyploidy event that occurred approximately 1-2 million years ago. Diploid A- and D-genome species can be compared to the A- and D-genomes found within these allotetraploids to make evolutionary inferences about polyploidy. In this paper we present a comprehensive EST assembly derived from diploid and model allotetraploid...
