Response to comment on "A promiscuous intermediate underlies the evolution of LEAFY DNA binding specificity"

Brockington, Samuel FMoyroud, EdwigeSayou, CamilleMonniaux, MarieNanao, Max HThévenon, EmmanuelChahtane, HichamWarthmann, NormanMelkonian, MichaelZhang, YongWong, Gane Ka -ShuWeigel, DetlefDumas, RenaudParcy, Francois2016-06-140036-8075http://hdl.handle.net/1885/102823Brunkard et al. propose that the identification of novel LEAFY sequences contradicts our model of evolution through promiscuous intermediates. Based on the debate surrounding land plant phylogeny and on our analysis of these interesting novel sequences, we explain why there is no solid evidence to disprove our model.Response to comment on "A promiscuous intermediate underlies the evolution of LEAFY DNA binding specificity"201510.1126/science.12560112016-06-14
