Speciation, the evolution of reproductive isolation among populations, is continuous,
complex, and involves multiple, interacting barriers. Until it is complete, the effects of this …

Hybridization among diverging lineages is common in nature. Genomic data provide a
special opportunity to characterize the history of hybridization and the genetic basis of …

Tea is an important global beverage crop and is largely clonally propagated. Despite
previous studies on the species, its genetic and evolutionary history deserves further …

Patterson's D, also known as the ABBA‐BABA statistic, and related statistics such as the f4‐
ratio, are commonly used to assess evidence of gene flow between populations or closely …

Bread wheat expanded its habitat from a core area of the Fertile Crescent to global
environments within~ 10,000 years. The genetic mechanisms of this remarkable …

Understanding why some evolutionary lineages generate exceptionally high species
diversity is an important goal in evolutionary biology. Haplochromine cichlid fishes of Africa's …

Deep knowledge of crop biodiversity is essential to improving global food security. Despite
bread wheat serving as a keystone crop worldwide, the population history of bread wheat …

Since the release of the complete human genome, the priority of human genomic study has
now been shifting towards closing gaps in ethnic diversity. Here, we present a fully phased …

Fruit characteristics of sweet watermelon are largely the result of human selection. Here we
report an improved watermelon reference genome and whole-genome resequencing of 414 …

We used 20 de novo genome assemblies to probe the speciation history and architecture of
gene flow in rapidly radiating Heliconius butterflies. Our tests to distinguish incomplete …
