author keywords: conifers; divergent adaptive evolution; genetic map; genome sequence; non-synonymous SNPs; phylogeny; Picea species; positive selection; super-scaffolds
MeSH headings : Expressed Sequence Tags; Genome, Plant / genetics; Multigene Family / genetics; Phylogeny; Picea / genetics; Tracheophyta / genetics
TL;DR: Improved and more contiguous spruce giga-genome sequences should strengthen the understanding of conifer genome structure and evolution, as their comparison offers clues into the genetic basis of adaptation and ecology of conifers at the genomic level. (via Semantic Scholar)
