Over the past decade, genomics-assisted breeding (GAB) has been instrumental in
harnessing the potential of modern genome resources and characterizing and exploiting …

Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a major crop that feeds 40% of the world's population.
Over the past several decades, advances in genomics have led to tremendous …

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 …

INTRODUCTION Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is the most widely cultivated crop on Earth,
contributing about a fifth of the total calories consumed by humans. Consequently, wheat …

Polyploidy is an evolutionary innovation for many animals and all flowering plants, but its
impact on selection and domestication remains elusive. Here we analyze genome evolution …

Background BRAKER is a suite of automatic pipelines, BRAKER1 and BRAKER2, for the
accurate annotation of protein-coding genes in eukaryotic genomes. Each pipeline trains …

Modern sugarcanes are polyploid interspecific hybrids, combining high sugar content from
Saccharum officinarum with hardiness, disease resistance and ratooning of Saccharum …

Plant genomes are so highly diverse that a substantial proportion of genomic sequences are
not shared among individuals. The variable DNA sequences, along with the conserved core …

Cereal grasses of the Triticeae tribe have been the major food source in temperate regions
since the dawn of agriculture. Their large genomes are characterized by a high content of …

Assembling a plant genome is challenging due to the abundance of repetitive sequences,
yet no standard is available to evaluate the assembly of repeat space. LTR retrotransposons …
