Suggestions for how to pick papers

  • Does it address the evolution of the genome (not just how the genome works now)?
  • Does it determine or hypothesize about a mechanism for that change?
  • Does it use interesting methods?

Yang et al 2019 Convergent horizontal gene transfer and cross-talk of mobile nucleic acids in parasitic plants

Song et al 2020 Eight high-quality genomes reveal pan-genome architecture and ecotype differentiation of Brassica napus

Bi 2019 Temporal genomic contrasts reveal rapid evolutionary responses in an alpine mammal during recent climate change
