This project analyzes the genome sequences of ash trees to understand gene evolution, focusing on gene duplication and loss. By creating a comprehensive database of gene families, it aims to uncover patterns in gene content evolution and support the development of ash trees resistant to disease.
Comparisons among whole genome sequences allow us to survey differences in gene content among organisms, and hypothesise patterns of gene gain and loss through evolution.
Rates of gene flux appear to be surprisingly high, and many genes are unexpectedly unique to species (“orphan” genes).
In plants, increasing evidence suggests that genome evolution has been shaped by multiple rounds of whole genome duplication (WGD) after which many duplicated genes are lost, but some duplicates are retained an…
