The availability of public genomic resources can greatly assist biodiversity assessment,
conservation, and restoration efforts by providing evidence for scientifically informed …

Progress in genome sequencing now enables the large-scale generation of reference
genomes. Various international initiatives aim to generate reference genomes representing …

Anthropogenic habitat loss and climate change are reducing species' geographic ranges,
increasing extinction risk and losses of species' genetic diversity. Although preserving …

Thousands of genomic regions have been associated with heritable human diseases, but
attempts to elucidate biological mechanisms are impeded by an inability to discern which …

The present day's ongoing global warming and climate change adversely affect plants
through imposing environmental (abiotic) stresses and disease pressure. The major abiotic …

Chromosomal inversions are an important form of structural variation that can affect
recombination, chromosome structure and fitness. However, because inversions can be …

The rediscovery of Mendel's work showing that the heredity of phenotypes is controlled by
discrete genes was followed by the reconciliation of Mendelian genetics with evolution by …

Copy number variation (CNV) can drive rapid evolution in changing environments. In
microbial pathogens, such adaptation is a key factor underpinning epidemics and …

Research on the genomic architecture of speciation has increasingly revealed the
importance of structural variants (SVs) that affect the presence, abundance, position, and/or …

A pan-genome is the nonredundant collection of genes and/or DNA sequences in a species.
Numerous studies have shown that plant pan-genomes are typically much larger than the …
