Crop populations derived from experimental crosses enable the genetic dissection of
complex traits and support modern plant breeding. Among these, multi-parent populations …

Genetic variation ranging from single-nucleotide polymorphisms to large structural variants
(SVs) can cause variation of gene content among individuals within the same species. There …

Although originally primarily a system for functional biology, Arabidopsis thaliana has, owing
to its broad geographical distribution and adaptation to diverse environments, developed …

Genomic differences range from single nucleotide differences to complex structural
variations. Current methods typically annotate sequence differences ranging from SNPs to …

Meiotic crossovers are limited in number and are prevented from occurring close to each
other by crossover interference. In many species, crossover number is subject to sexual …

Using the latest sequencing and optical map** technologies, we have produced a high-
quality de novo assembly of the apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) genome. Repeat …

One of the greatest unmet challenges in conservation biology is the genetic management of
fragmented populations of threatened animal and plant species. More than a million small …

Background The availability of the peach genome sequence has fostered relevant research
in peach and related Prunus species enabling the identification of genes underlying …

Despite hundreds of sequenced Arabidopsis genomes, very little is known about the degree
of genomic collinearity within single species, due to the low number of chromosome-level …

Multiple cotton genomes (diploid and tetraploid) have been assembled. However, genomic
variations between cultivars of allotetraploid upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.), the …
