Abstract
The scientific case made by the AUTHOR’S comparative Brassica oleracea
genomics work is presented through 5 peer reviewed research papers. In
order to achieve a comprehensive understanding of the evolution of B.
oleracea the identification of unique genome characteristics, established
using comparative genomics, is required. The genome characteristics
established within these papers deliver significant contributions to original
knowledge. These include a detailed illustration of how macro scale synteny
varies markedly between the B. oleracea and A. thaliana genomes;
unambiguous integration of the B. oleracea cytogenetic and genetic linkage
maps; a cross species characterisation of a large collinear inverted
segmental duplication on a single B. oleracea chromosome establishing that
the relative physical distances have stayed approximately the same;
retrotransposon copy number estimations and characterisation of their
genomic organisation and isolation, characterisation and cross species
analysis of a C genome specific repeat. For each paper the AUTHOR’S
individual scientific contribution to each aspect of the work is described in
detail. Both individually and as a body of work these publications
substantially advance the fields of comparative, Brassica and genomic
research.
