Molecular evidence for segmental duplication across chromosomes of soybean using transcription factor gene family
Duplication of genome is an important genetic innovation. Large genome size (1.1 Gb) along with ancient and recent duplication events make the soybean genome more complex. Analyzing the distribution and duplication event in soybean transcription family genes, the segmental duplication within chromosomes was revealed. Our study provides a strong evidence that the large segmental duplication event in genome architecture and evolution of soybean genome using simple method of sequence and order analysis of TF genes. Finally, a scheme for interrelationship of different chromosomes has been proposed.
