Great Burnet Mitochondrial Genome Assembled to Trace Rosaceae Evolution
Original: Great Burnet Mitochondrial Genome Assembled to Reveal Rosaceae Evolution
Researchers have assembled the complete mitochondrial genome of great burnet (Sanguisorba officinalis), a plant in the rose family. The sequence is being used to examine evolutionary relationships within Rosaceae, a large family that includes apples, cherries, roses and almonds. Mitochondrial genomes are valuable for tracing plant lineages because they change slowly and can clarify how species diverged over time.
Why now: New genomic data offering insight into the evolution of an economically and ecologically important plant family
