The Effects of Gene Duplication Modes on the Evolution of Regulatory Divergence in Wild and Cultivated Soybean.

ABSTRACT: Regulatory changes include divergence in both cis-elements and trans-factors, which play roles in organismal evolution. Whole genome duplications (WGD) followed by diploidization are a recurrent feature in the evolutionary history of angiosperms. Prior studies have shown that duplicated genes have different evolutionary fates due to variable selection constraints and results in genomic compositions with hallmarks of paleopolyploidy. The recent sequential WGDs and post-WGD evolution in the common ancestor of cultivated soybean (Glycine max) and wild soybean (Glycine soja), together with other models of gene duplication, have resulted in a highly duplicated genome. In this study, we investigated the transcriptional changes in G. soja and G. max. We i
