Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Understanding the molecular basis of domestication can provide insights into the processes of rapid evolution and crop improvement. Here we demonstrated the processes of carrot domestication and identified genes under selection based on transcriptome analyses. RESULTS: The root transcriptomes of widely differing cultivated and wild carrots were sequenced. A method accounting for sequencing errors was...
