Identification of universal grass genes and estimates of their monocot- / commelinid- /grass-specificity
AbstractMotivation. Where experiments identify sets of grass genes of unknown function, for example underlying a QTL or co-expressed in a transcriptome, it
The evolutionary success of grasses transformed planet earth and underpins agriculture. My new analysis doi.org/10.1093/bioa... looked for protein-coding genes responsible for this success and found 4,609 putative universal genes with lineage specific functions . #plantscience #plantevolution
