“Next, the StAGOs were mapped on the S. tuberosum chromosomes (Supplementary Fig. S3). The close positions of StAGO2a, StAGO2b and StAGO3 on chromosome 2, and StAGO1a, StAGO4a and StAGO10c on chromosome 6, together with sequence similarities, suggest that they have experienced gene duplications. Similar tandem gene duplications are observed on chromosome 2 and 6 in tomato25. In tomato and potato, no AGOs are found on chromosome 4, 5, 8, 10 and 11.”
