Plant genome archaeology: evidence for conserved ancestral chromosome segments in dicotyledonous plant species. Plant Biotechnol. 1:2003;91-99 The authors of this paper are the first to attempt to compare several dicotyledonous plant genomes, including the Arabidopsis genome as a model. This study revealed collinear chromosome segments that have markers in the same order in several species, suggesting that they are ancestral segments. This paper also includes statistical treatments and describes the evolutionary story of the Arabidopsis genome.
