16. 1KP unexplored territory N(genes) dozens of species completed genomes N(species) dozens of genes PCR in 10 4 species
17. Broad phylogenetic coverage algae non-flowering flowering (angiosperm) on role of polyploidy in Darwin ’s “abominable mystery” Phylogenomics of 1000 species across plant taxa
Provide the scientific community with a toolkit that will allow them to study the evolution of traits of interest Adaptation in response to past climate change Co-evolution of pollinators and flowers or hosts and parasites
Contrast: Test for correlation of continuous traits, taking into account phylogeny DACE: Estimating the status of a discrete trait (e.g. presence/absence of fruit, color) in the ancestors of a group of taxa CACE: Estimating the value of a continuous trait (e.g. yield, hight) in the ancestors of a group of taxa
