Douglas-fir genome published!

August 7, 2017 by ccasola

Our collaborative study on the Douglas-fir genome paper is now published online in G3! Postdoc Tomasz Koralewski and I contributed with the analysis of gene family evolution in DF and other Pinaceae. Lots of interesting results came from this work, for instance: Pinaceae shows a comparable if not higher gene turnover rate than angiosperms (when polyploidization is not taken into account), some genetic networks expanded in DF, including the interesting pathway involved in jasmonate regulation, and most nuclear genes in the plastid ndh complex were lost across Pinaceae.
