Thursday, February 20, 2014 - 16:40 in Biology & Nature

DNA sequencing technologies continue to make bold strides, and that means a lot for the plant sciences. Genome-scale data sets obtained from these new technologies will allow researchers to greatly improve our understanding of evolutionary relationships, because studies of phylogenetic relationships among different plant species have traditionally relied on analyses of a limited number of genes, mostly from the chloroplast genome. Limited data often means limited ability to fully or accurately resolve phylogenetic relationships.   read more
