Natural products and ecological interactionsAdaptive evolution (i.e. “rapid”)
Scents Colours Flavours
Pests Pathogens Allelopathy
Where synteny breaks down…
• Rapidly evolving regions of genomes• Conserved motifs shared by co-regulated
genes• Determining the sequence of evolution of
members of multigene families• Determining the sequence of evolution of
combinations of genes
Wish list
• Reliable ORF designations; reliable sequence information
• Sceptical of text annotation – prefer using a set of “probe” sequences or Pfam domains
• Positional information – Genomic context• Searchable gene expression data
(Genevestigator-like)
• Recombination frequencies• Degree of divergence across
