This study identifies centromeric repeat turnovers in Arabidopsis species, revealing evolutionary mechanisms and the role of genetic drift and centromere drive in repeat replacement.

The paper presents a genomic resource with 1018 A. lyrata and 736 A. arenosa genomes, enabling studies of adaptation and genetic diversity through a searchable database and GWAS analysis of latitudinal clines.

This study investigates the origin and early genome evolution of Arabidopsis suecica, identifying de novo adaptation and functional compensation between homeologous genes.

The paper identifies multiple origins of autotetraploidy in Arabidopsis lyrata across Eurasia and shows how adaptive introgression stabilizes these polyploid forms.
