Genome-wide expansion and reorganization during grass evolution: from 30 Mb chromosomes in rice and Brachypodium to 550 Mb in Avena

Abstract Background The BOP (Bambusoideae, Oryzoideae, and Pooideae) clade of the Poaceae has a common ancestor, with similarities to the genomes of rice, Oryza sativa (2n = 24; genome size 389 Mb) and Brachypodium, Brachypodium distachyon (2n = 10; 271 Mb). We exploit chromosome-scale genome assemb...
