Aquaculture is the fastest-growing farmed food sector and will soon become the primary
source of fish and shellfish for human diets. In contrast to crop and livestock production …

Plants are fascinating and complex organisms. A comprehensive understanding of the
organization, function and evolution of plant genes is essential to disentangle important …

Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is the world's most important non-cereal food crop, and the
vast majority of commercially grown cultivars are highly heterozygous tetraploids. Advances …

A central question in evolutionary biology is whether sponges or ctenophores (comb jellies)
are the sister group to all other animals. These alternative phylogenetic hypotheses imply …

Conifers dominate the world's forest ecosystems and are the most widely planted tree
species. Their giant and complex genomes present great challenges for assembling a …

Genetic diversity is key to crop improvement. Owing to pervasive genomic structural
variation, a single reference genome assembly cannot capture the full complement of …

The genus Lactobacillus comprises 261 species (at March 2020) that are extremely diverse
at phenotypic, ecological and genotypic levels. This study evaluated the taxonomy of …

Pan-genomes from large natural populations can capture genetic diversity and reveal
genomic complexity. Using de novo long-read assembly, we generated a graph-based …

The development of multiple chromosome-scale reference genome sequences in many
taxonomic groups has yielded a high-resolution view of the patterns and processes of …
