Background: The variation rate in genomic regions associated with different alleles, impacts to distinct evolutionary patterns involving rare alleles. The rare alleles bias towards genome-wide association studies (GWASs), aim to detect different variants at genomic loci associated with single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) inclined to produce different haplotypes. Here, we sequenced Arabidopsis thaliana and compared its coding and non-coding genomic regions with its closest outgroup relative, Arabidopsis lyrta, which accounted for the ancestral misinference.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFTrypsin participates in many fundamental biological processes, the most notably in digesting food. The 12 species of Drosophila provide a great opportunity to analyze the duplication pattern of trypsins and their association with dietary changes. Here, we find that the trypsin family expands dramatically after speciation.
