Abstract

The rapidly falling costs and the increasing availability of large DNA sequence data sets facilitate the fast and affordable mining of large molecular markers data sets for comprehensive evolutionary studies. The Brassicaceae (mustards) are an important species-rich family in the plant kingdom with taxa distributed worldwide and a complex evolutionary history. We performed Simple Sequence Repeats (SSRs) mining using de novo assembled transcriptomes from 19 species across the Brassicaceae in order to study SSR evolution and provide comprehensive sets of molecular markers for genetic studies within the family. Moreover, we selected the genus Cochlearia to test the transferability and polymorphism of these markers among species. Additionally, we annotated Cochlearia pyrenaica transcriptome in order to identify the position of each of the mined SSRs. While we introduce a new set of tools that will further enable evolutionary studies across the Brassicaceae, we also discuss some broader aspects of SSR evolution. Overall, we developed 2012 ready-to-use SSR markers with their respective primers in 19 Brassicaceae species and a high quality annotated transcriptome for C. pyrenaica. As indicated by our transferability test with the genus Cochlearia these SSRs are transferable to species within the genus increasing exponentially the number of targeted species. Also, our polymorphism results showed substantial levels of variability for these markers. Finally, despite its complex evolutionary history, SSR evolution across the Brassicaceae family is highly conserved and we found no deviation from patterns reported in other Angiosperms.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 14. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 03 February 2020.
All research outputs
#2,387,488
of 24,417,958 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Plant Science
#1,029
of 23,029 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#44,742
of 319,967 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Plant Science
#21
of 484 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,417,958 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 90th percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 23,029 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.9. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 95% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 319,967 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 85% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 484 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 95% of its contemporaries.
