Parental legacy, demography, and introgression influenced the evolution of the two subgenomes of the tetraploid Capsella bursa-pastoris (Brassicaceae)

This study examines how two subgenomes in the allotetraploid Capsella bursa-pastoris evolved and interacted across three populations, finding differential effects of introgression, selection, and population size.

Association mapping reveals the role of mutation-selection balance in the maintenance of genomic variation for gene expression.

The paper tests mutation-selection balance theory by analyzing eQTLs and aseQTLs in Capsella grandiflora, finding rare alleles with negative frequency-effect size correlations.

Population genomic scans reveal novel genes underlie convergent flowering time evolution in the introduced range of Arabidopsis thaliana

The paper uses whole genome sequencing to investigate if convergent flowering time evolution in Arabidopsis thaliana has a similar genetic basis in native and introduced ranges, finding no strong selection on native variants in the introduced range.
