DNA Sequence Evolution and Rare Homoeologous Conversion in Tetraploid Cotton.

DNA Sequence Evolution and Rare Homoeologous Conversion in Tetraploid Cotton.

Allotetraploid cotton species are a vital source of spinnable fiber for textiles. The polyploid nature of the cotton genome raises many evolutionary questions as to the relationships between duplicated genomes. We describe the evolution of the cotton genome (SNPs and structural variants) with the gr...
