Investigation of the evolution of SABATH gene family in Cassava (Manihot esculenta) reveals its potential role in growth and development

The aim of this study was to investigate the duplication events within the SABATH gene family in cassava using computational tools. By analyzing the similarities between coding DNA sequences, we identified potential duplicated gene pairs and examined their structures. In addition, we assessed the expression profiles of SABATH genes across various cassava tissues during key growth and developmental stages.
