The widespread occurrence of repetitive stretches of DNA in genomes of organisms across
the tree of life imposes fundamental challenges for sequencing, genome assembly, and …

The falling cost of genome sequencing is having a marked impact on the research
community with respect to which genomes are sequenced and how and where they are …

Effective utilization of wild relatives is key to overcoming challenges in genetic improvement
of cultivated tomato, which has a narrow genetic basis; however, current efforts to decipher …

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

We elucidate grapevine evolution and domestication histories with 3525 cultivated and wild
accessions worldwide. In the Pleistocene, harsh climate drove the separation of wild grape …

The orange subfamily (Aurantioideae) contains several Citrus species cultivated worldwide,
such as sweet orange and lemon. The origin of Citrus species has long been debated and …

Motivation Protein-to-genome alignment is critical to annotating genes in non-model
organisms. While there are a few tools for this purpose, all of them were developed over 10 …

Pearl millet is an important cereal crop worldwide and shows superior heat tolerance. Here,
we developed a graph-based pan-genome by assembling ten chromosomal genomes with …

Cultivated rice varieties are all diploid, and polyploidization of rice has long been desired
because of its advantages in genome buffering, vigorousness, and environmental …

Hybrid maize displays superior heterosis and contributes over 30% of total worldwide cereal
production. However, the molecular mechanisms of heterosis remain obscure. Here we …
