Shared whole genome duplication events can be detected through syntenic dotplot analysis (spacial analysis of gene order) and through synonymous change rate (kS) historgrams (temporal analysis of coding sequence divergence) for putative homologous gene pairs. SynMap can combine these approaches and can identify collinear sets of putatively homologous genes (spatial detection of synteny), calculate kS values for these syntelogous gene pairs pairs, and use those kS values to generate a color-metric histogram and paint the syntelogs the appropriate color on the dotplot. This combination of temporal and spatial syntenic analysis creates a final image that permits the rapid visual identification and evaluation of shared whole genome duplication events. | |||

Please refer to the appropriate images for this discussion, or you can regenerate this analysis [1] This example shows a whole genome syntenic dotplot comparison of Arabidopsis thaliana (At) and Arabidopsis lyrata (Al). These taxa diverged from one another ~5MYA [1] and share two sequential whole genome duplications events [2] since the divergence of their lineage with Carica papaya's lineage [3]. Each whole genome duplication event creates a contemporaneous copy of every chromosome and all the genetic information they contain. However, over evolutionary time, these duplicated homeologous chromosomes are fractionated, undergo rearrangement and inversions, gene transposition events, and other genomic changes.
Shared whole genome duplication events can be detected through syntenic dotplot analysis (spacial analysis of gene order) and through synonymous change rate (kS) historgrams (temporal analysis of coding sequence divergence) for putative homologous gene pairs. SynMap can combine these approaches and can identify collinear sets of putatively homologous genes (spatial detection of synteny), calculate kS values for these syntelogous gene pairs pairs, and use those kS values to generate a color-metric histogram and paint the syntelogs the appropriate color on the dotplot. This combination of temporal and spatial syntenic analysis creates a final image that permits the rapid visual identification and evaluation of shared whole genome duplication events.
