Understanding the quantitative genetics of crops has been and will continue to be central to
maintaining and improving global food security. We outline four stages that plant breeding …

Highlights•Plant genomes are more repetitive and complicate to assemble than
vertebrates.•Long-read assembly contigs outperform short-read assembly scaffolds.•Long …

A complete telomere-to-telomere (T2T) finished genome has been the long pursuit of
genomic research. Through generating deep coverage ultralong Oxford Nanopore …

The field of graph neural networks (GNNs) has seen rapid and incredible strides over the
recent years. Graph neural networks, also known as deep learning on graphs, graph …

We report de novo genome assemblies, transcriptomes, annotations, and methylomes for
the 26 inbreds that serve as the founders for the maize nested association map** …

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

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 …

Research in the past decade has demonstrated that a single reference genome is not
representative of a species' diversity. MaizeGDB introduces a pan-genomic approach to …

Cultivated potato is a clonally propagated autotetraploid species with a highly
heterogeneous genome. Phased assemblies of six cultivars including two chromosome …

Wheat (Triticum spp.) is one of the founder crops that likely drove the Neolithic transition to
sedentary agrarian societies in the Fertile Crescent more than 10,000 years ago. Identifying …
