As different taxa evolve, gene order often changes slowly enough that chromosomal 'blocks'
with conserved gene orders (synteny) are discernible. The MCScanX toolkit (https://github …

The development of multiple chromosome-scale reference genome sequences in many
taxonomic groups has yielded a high-resolution view of the patterns and processes of …

Green plants play a fundamental role in ecosystems, human health, and agriculture. As de
novo genomes are being generated for all known eukaryotic species as advocated by the …

Due to the economic and ecological importance of forest trees, modern breeding and
genetic manipulation of forest trees have become increasingly prevalent. The CRISPR …

Structural variations (SVs) and copy number variations (CNVs) contribute to trait variations in
fleshy-fruited species. Here, we assemble 10 genomes of genetically diverse Malus …

In lineages of allopolyploid origin, sets of homoeologous chromosomes may coexist that
differ in gene content and syntenic structure. Presence or absence of genes and …

The pear (Pyrus spp.) is well known for diverse flavors, textures, and global horticultural
importance. However, the genetic diversity responsible for its extensive phenotypic …

Balanced mating type polymorphisms offer a distinct window into the forces sha** sexual
reproduction strategies. Multiple hermaphroditic genera in Juglandaceae, including walnuts …

Walnut (Juglans) species are used as nut crops worldwide. Eastern black walnut (EBW,
