HA: #Plant #Domestication associated with #polyploid #genome but why? @xinshuaiqi @BarkerLab @JChrisPires #IBC2017

HA: Brassica rapa has several morphotypes (root, leaf, oilseed) so #DogOfPlantWorld @xinshuaiqi @BarkerLab @JChrisPires #IBC2017

HA: test hypothesis: duplicates from polyploidy more likely to get selected in #domestication @xinshuaiqi @BarkerLab @JChrisPires #IBC2017

HA: Previous #Brassica rapa studies leave many questions, so used RNA-seq to get 31,662 SNPs @xinshuaiqi @BarkerLab @JChrisPires #IBC2017

HA: From 126 accessions, found 5 groups: Euro turnip, rapini, sarson, Pak Choi, Chinese Cabbage @xinshuaiqi @BarkerLab @JChrisPires #IBC2017

HA: Our study is first to use dadi (from human genetics) in plant domestication @xinshuaiqi @BarkerLab @JChrisPires #IBC2017

HA: Now new work on testing if #polyploid gene duplicates had greater selection than expected @xinshuaiqi @BarkerLab @JChrisPires #IBC2017
— Hong An 安 宏 (@Hong_An_) July 27, 2017
HA: Used four methods to test if #polyploid duplicates vs other genes are selected @xinshuaiqi @BarkerLab @JChrisPires #IBC2017
— Hong An 安 宏 (@Hong_An_) July 27, 2017
HA: We found selected genes are enriched for #polyploid duplicates! First time this reported? @xinshuaiqi @BarkerLab @JChrisPires #IBC2017

HA: Looking at candidate #domestication genes in #Brassica – some genes found before, many new! @xinshuaiqi @BarkerLab @JChrisPires #IBC2017
