Identification of recently emerged de novo genes during diversification in the genus Prunus. (A) Through BLAT searches of P. persica “baifeng” against sibling Prunus species, 178 De novo genes were determined in P. persica “baifeng”. Three cultivars, P. persica “CN14”, P. persica “Batsch” and P. persica “Chinese Cling”, and three wild relatives, P. ferganensis, P. davidiana, and P. kansuensis, were referred to as an in-group, while P. mira and P. dulcis were defined as an out-group. (B) Three types of de novo genes are shown in the diagram.
