Evidence for post-allopolyploidy genetic exchanges between duplicated regions in three ancient polyploidies

Amrit Kaur Dhillon, Hasini Pasagadugula, Isabelle Pitts, Manav Rohilla, Gavin C. Conant

The paper investigates late diploidization after three polyploidies by analyzing gene tree discordance using the POInT tool.

Buffering of developmental noise provides a mechanism for heterosis in both polyploid and diploid hybrids

Gavin C. Conant

The paper uses a computational model to show that increased ploidy buffers gene expression noise, explaining hybrid vigor and inbreeding depression through developmental robustness.

A reference-quality NLRome for the hexaploid sweetpotato and diploid wild relatives

Camilo H. Parada-Rojas, Kevin L. Childs, Monica Fernandez De Soto, A. Salcedo, Kenneth V. Pecota, George Craig Yencho, C. V. Almeyda, John P. Hamilton, Mercy N. Kitavi, C. Robin Buell, Gavin C. Conant, David A. Baltzegar, L. M. Quesada-Ocampo

The paper catalogs NLR diversity in sweetpotato and wild relatives using RenSeq, identifying 800-1,200 NLRs and highlighting CNL diversity and conservation across genotypes.

The contributions from the progenitor genomes of the mesopolyploid Brassiceae are evolutionarily distinct but functionally compatible

Yue Hao, Makenzie E. Mabry, Patrick P. Edger, Michael Freeling, Chunfang Zheng, Lingling Jin, Robert VanBuren, Marivi Colle, Hong An, R. Shawn Abrahams, Jacob D. Washburn, Xinshuai Qi, Kerrie Barry, Chris G. Daum, Shengqiang Shu, , Gavin C. Conant

The paper confirms a two-step hybridization model for the formation of hexaploidy in Brassiceae and shows subgenomes have distinct loss rates but functionally compatible genes.
