A unified mixed-model method for association mapping that accounts for multiple levels of relatedness
Jianming Yu,Gaël Pressoir,William H. Briggs,Irie Vroh Bi,Masanori Yamasaki,John Doebley,Michael D. McMullen,Michael D. McMullen,Brandon S. Gaut,Dahlia M. Nielsen,James B. Holland,James B. Holland,Stephen Kresovich,Edward S. Buckler,Edward S. Buckler +14 more
TL;DR: A unified mixed-model approach to account for multiple levels of relatedness simultaneously as detected by random genetic markers is developed and provides a powerful complement to currently available methods for association mapping.

The Molecular Genetics of Crop Domestication
TL;DR: The list of genes to date tentatively suggests that diverse plant developmental pathways were the targets of Neolithic "genetic tinkering," and the authors are now closer to understanding how plant development was redirected to meet the needs of a hungry world.

A likelihood approach for comparing synonymous and nonsynonymous nucleotide substitution rates, with application to the chloroplast genome.
Spencer V. Muse,Brandon S. Gaut +1 more
TL;DR: Simulations help confirm previous suggestions that silent sites are saturated, leaving no evidence of heterogeneity in synonymous substitution rates, and confirm previous findings that substitution rates in the chloroplast genome are subject to both lineage-specific and locus-specific effects.
The Arabidopsis lyrata genome sequence and the basis of rapid genome size change

Hollister,Stephan Ossowski,Robert P. Ottilar,Asaf Salamov,Korbinian Schneeberger,Manuel Spannagl,Xi-Mo Wang,Liang Yang,Mikhail E. Nasrallah,Joy Bergelson,James C. Carrington,Brandon S. Gaut,Jeremy Schmutz,Klaus F. X. Mayer,Yves Van de Peer,Igor V. Grigoriev,Magnus Nordborg,Magnus Nordborg,Detlef Weigel,Ya-Long Guo +30 more
TL;DR: The 207-Mb genome sequence of the North American Arabidopsis lyrata strain MN47, based on 8.3× dideoxy sequence coverage, is reported, indicating pervasive selection for a smaller genome in this outcrossing species.
The Molecular Diversity of Adaptive Convergence
Olivier Tenaillon,Olivier Tenaillon,Olivier Tenaillon,Alejandra Rodríguez-Verdugo,Rebecca L. Gaut,Pamela McDonald,Albert F. Bennett,Anthony D. Long,Brandon S. Gaut +8 more
TL;DR: The pervasive presence of epistasis among beneficial mutations was inferred, which shaped adaptive trajectories into at least two distinct pathways involving mutations either in the RNA polymerase complex or the termination factor rho.
