Genomic Hotspots: Localized chromosome gene expansions identify lineage-specific innovations as targets for functional biodiversity and predictions of stress resilience
Eric Edsinger,

Abstract:1AbstractFunctional and biodiversity genomics is essential for assessment and monitoring of planetary health and species-specific management in changing ecosystems. However, experimental knowledge of gene functions is limited to a few species, and dependencies on distantly related models. Combined with unrecognized degrees of lineage-specific gene family expansion, this means that traditional comparative methods are insufficient. Here, we clarify definitions of homology and genomic ‘dark matter’ and introduce … Show more
