In a new Nature Communications publication, Zhang et al. examine the incredibly diverse Poaceae family. By conducting phylogenomic and phylotranscriptomic analyses- including using GO- Zhang et al. identify whole-genome duplications (WGD) and including WGDs that are implicated in environmental adaptations or morphogenesis.

Here’s Supplementary Figure 38 from the paper, a dot-plot of GO enrichment of genes from Phyllostachys edulis mapped at Bambusoideae in (AB)A retention type:
