title: An evolutionary genomic tale of two rice species.
abstract: The domestication of African rice, Oryza glaberrima, occurred separately from that of the much more widespread Asian rice species Oryza sativa. Analysis of the whole-genome sequence for O. glaberrima shows the extent to which the same genes were involved in these distinct but parallel evolutionary events.
