Liger (獅虎) = Lion + Tiger http://past.people.com.cn
再繁殖下去呢 Lineage 雄虎 + 雌獅 = 虎獅 雄獅 + 雌獅虎 = 獅獅虎 雄虎 + 雌獅虎 = 虎獅虎 雄獅 + 雌虎 = 獅虎 雄虎 + 雌獅 = 虎獅 再繁殖下去呢 雄獅 + 雌獅虎 = 獅獅虎 雄虎 + 雌獅虎 = 虎獅虎 雄獅 + 雌虎獅 = 獅虎獅 雄虎 + 雌虎獅 = 虎虎獅 (獅|虎)*(獅虎|虎獅)

Framework of This Paper Common Ancestor Arabidopsis Gossypiums http://www.forestryimages.org http://www.vermeirsch.be http://www.fmnh.helsinki.fi http://ncbg.unc.edu
Arabidopsis Small genome size 125 Mb Complete genetic and physical maps 5 chromosomes (2001) Short life cycle about 6 weeks Few repetitive DNA sequences Mb = megabases (百萬對nucleotide base pairs )
Gossypium An appropriate system for studying paleopolyploids Monoploid (13 chromosomes) Diploid (e.g., G. trilobum and G. raimondii) Tetraploid (e.g., G. hirsutum) Octaploid [Wendel et. al., 2003]
Paleopolyploidization Whole genome duplication events occurred in the history of evolution An important evolutionary mechanism (S. Ohno, 1970) Some evidence Yeast: 108 years ago Vertebrates: 2×108 years ago Plants : particularly prevalent http://www.nap.edu/html/biomems/sohno.html http://www.uiowa.edu http://www.fishvetsociety.org.uk http://www.nwhc.usgs.gov http://www.dartmouth.edu http://www.chinafarm.com.cn

Genome Duplication A: a genome that has 22 genes B: a genome duplication http://biology.plosjournals.org
Gene Loss C: a genome duplication followed by significant gene losses
Diploidization
Gene Divergence The duplication of a region of chromosome containing a (generally functional) gene
Conserved Synteny A chromosome pair, one from each of two species that share at least one ortholog
Keys to Infer Inference of conserved synteny in pre-duplicated genome What was the original order of blocks? Nature of post-duplication rearrangements events How many rearrangements have occurred since the duplication occurred? Statistics of gene loss versus gene divergence http://en.wikipedia.org http://www.nature.com
