Comparative Transcriptome reveals the patterns of selection in domesticated and wild Millet
Alternative splicing (AS) of pre-mRNAs expands one single gene to produce multiple mRNA isoforms and this mechanism enhances the functional complexity by increasing the transcriptome diversity in plant genomes. In this study, to demonstrate variation in the AS landscape underlying domestication/diversification in Setaria italica, we conducted high-throughput transcriptome sequencing of major tissues from wild (A10) and two cultivated accessions (Yugu1 and Zhanggu).
