Evaluating the adaptive evolutionary convergence of carnivorous plant taxa through functional genomics
Carnivorous plants are striking examples of evolutionary convergence, displaying complex and often highly similar adaptations despite lack of shared ancestry. Using available carnivorous plant genomes along with non-carnivorous reference taxa, this study examines the convergence of functional overre...
