With the development of molecular marker technology in the 1980s, the fate of plant
breeding has changed. Different types of molecular markers have been developed and …

In the last decade, the revolution in sequencing technologies has deeply impacted crop
genoty** practice. New methods allowing rapid, high‐throughput genoty** of entire …

Complete and accurate reference genomes and annotations provide fundamental resources
for functional genomics and crop breeding. Here we report a de novo assembly and …

Harnessing genetic diversity in major staple crops through the development of new breeding
capabilities is essential to ensure food security. Here we examined the genetic and …

Hybridization allows adaptations to be shared among lineages and may trigger the evolution
of new species,. However, convincing examples of homoploid hybrid speciation remain rare …

Modern tomatoes have narrow genetic diversity limiting their improvement potential. We
present a tomato pan-genome constructed using genome sequences of 725 …

How locally adapted ecotypes are established and maintained within a species is a long-
standing question in evolutionary biology. Using forest and prairie ecotypes of deer mice …

The life cycle of genome builds spans interlocking pillars of assembly, annotation, and
comparative genomics to drive biological insights. While tools exist to address each pillar …

Female Aedes aegypti mosquitoes infect more than 400 million people each year with
dangerous viral pathogens including dengue, yellow fever, Zika and chikungunya. Progress …

R/qtl2 is an interactive software environment for map** quantitative trait loci (QTL) in
