1.
Naranjo J, Sither C, Conant G
Mol Phylogenet Evol . 2024 Apr; 196:108087. PMID: 38677353
Polyploidy, or whole-genome duplication, is expected to confound the inference of species trees with phylogenetic methods for two reasons. First, the presence of retained duplicated genes requires the reconciliation of...
2.
An H, Pires J, Conant G
PLoS Comput Biol . 2024 Jan; 20(1):e1011803. PMID: 38227592
Hybridization coupled to polyploidy, or allopolyploidy, has dramatically shaped the evolution of flowering plants, teleost fishes, and other lineages. Studies of recently formed allopolyploid plants have shown that the two...

Mabry M, Abrahams R, Al-Shehbaz I, Baker W, Barak S, Barker M, et al.
Plant Cell . 2023 Oct; 36(5):1205-1226. PMID: 37824826
Model species continue to underpin groundbreaking plant science research. At the same time, the phylogenetic resolution of the land plant tree of life continues to improve. The intersection of these...

Siddiqui M, Conant G
BMC Bioinformatics . 2023 Apr; 24(1):174. PMID: 37106333
We describe POInT, a web portal that gives access to the orthology inferences made for polyploid genomes with POInT, the Polyploidy Orthology Inference Tool. Ancient, or paleo-, polyploidy events are...
5.
Conant G
Methods Mol Biol . 2023 Jan; 2545:77-90. PMID: 36720808
Thirteen years ago, we described an evolutionary modeling tool that could resolve the orthology relationships among the homologous genomic regions created by a whole-genome duplication. This tool, which we subsequently...

McRae L, Beric A, Conant G
Proc Biol Sci . 2022 Oct; 289(1985):20221810. PMID: 36285500
We model the post-hexaploidy evolution of four genomes from the Solanaceae, a group of flowering plants comprising tomatoes, potatoes and their relatives. The hexaploidy that these genomes descend from occurred...

Hao Y, Conant G
Methods Mol Biol . 2022 Jul; 2512:81-91. PMID: 35818001
Ancient polyploidy events are widely distributed across the evolutionary history of eukaryotes. Here, we describe a likelihood-based tool, POInT (the Polyploidy Orthology Inference Tool), for modeling ancient whole genome duplications...

Hao Y, Fleming J, Petterson J, Lyons E, Edger P, Pires J, et al.
G3 (Bethesda) . 2022 Apr; 12(6). PMID: 35451464
By modeling the homoeologous gene losses that occurred in 50 genomes deriving from ten distinct polyploidy events, we show that the evolutionary forces acting on polyploids are remarkably similar, regardless...

Washburn J, Strable J, Dickinson P, Kothapalli S, Brose J, Covshoff S, et al.
Plant Direct . 2022 Jan; 5(12):e373. PMID: 34988355
In C plants, the enzymatic machinery underpinning photosynthesis can vary, with, for example, three distinct C acid decarboxylases being used to release CO in the vicinity of RuBisCO. For decades,...

Beric A, Mabry M, Harkess A, Brose J, Schranz M, Conant G, et al.
G3 (Bethesda) . 2021 May; 11(7). PMID: 33993297
Genome sizes of plants have long piqued the interest of researchers due to the vast differences among organisms. However, the mechanisms that drive size differences have yet to be fully...
