Sequencing of the needle transcriptome from Norway spruce (<it>Picea abies</it> Karst L.) reveals lower substitution rates, but similar selective constraints in gymnosperms and angiosperms

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>A detailed knowledge about spatial and temporal gene expression is important for understanding both the function of genes and their evolution. For the vast majority of species, transcriptomes are still largely uncharacterized and eve...
