Spatial expression evolution of duplicated genes post-whole genome duplication in cultivated tomato

This study examines how duplicated genes evolve spatial expression patterns after a genome triplication event in tomato, finding that ancestral expression states are often retained, with some experiencing expression gain or loss linked to fruit quality.

A comparison of tools and read depth criteria for genuine single nucleotide polymorphism identification in ancient maize samples

This study compares tools and read depth criteria for identifying genuine SNPs in ancient maize samples, finding Rm5nt and angsd with 5X depth as optimal.
