Examination of the flax genome’s evolution.

Caption

Examination of the flax genome’s evolution. (A) The number of genes that are homologous between 14 species and flax. (B) Four species’ gene families were analyzed using clustering. The number indicates how many gene families there are, while the letters in parenthesis stand for the species’ acronyms, the letter string represents the common gene families between species, and a single letter represents the unique gene families within a species. (C) Evolutionary tree showing the divergence periods and phylogenetic relationships of 15 species. During the evolutionary process, ‘+’ and ‘−’ indicate the expansion and contraction of gene family numbers, respectively. (D) Display of synonymous substitution numbers (Ks) for each synonymous locus. (E) Collinearity analysis of flax and soybean genomes. Different colors represent collinearity between different chromosomes. (F) Syntenic depth ratio analysis of flax and soybean. (G) Scatter plots comparing the genomes of flax and soybean.
