Patterns of polymorphism and selection in the subgenomes of the allopolyploid Arabidopsis kamchatica

Despite the prevalence of genome duplication in plants, little is known about the evolutionary patterns of entire subgenomes. Here the authors resequence allopolyploid Arabidopsis kamchatica genome to estimate diversity, linkage disequilibrium and strengths of both positive and purifying selection.
