This study analyzes the origins and evolutionary dynamics of the allopolyploid grass Brachypodium hybridum using whole-genome sequencing and phylogenomic approaches, revealing three independent allopolyploidization events and subgenome-specific evolutionary patterns.

This study presents chromosome-level assemblies of two perennial Brachypodium species, revealing genomic features like polyploidy and transposable element dynamics that shaped genome evolution.

AlloSHP detects single homeologous polymorphisms in allopolyploids without genome assembly, enabling phylogenetic analysis of diploid-polyploid complexes.
