Prior to the availability of whole-genome sequences, our understanding of the structural and
functional aspects of Prunus tree genomes was limited mostly to molecular genetic mapping …

Gene duplication is an important evolutionary mechanism allowing to provide new genetic
material and thus opportunities to acquire new gene functions for an organism, with major …

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

Advancements in comparative genomics research have led to a growing interest in studying
species evolution and genetic diversity. To facilitate this research, OrthoVenn3 has been …

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 …

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 …

Structural variations (SVs) and gene copy number variations (gCNVs) have contributed to
crop evolution, domestication, and improvement. Here, we assembled 31 high-quality …

Until recently, achieving a reference‐quality genome sequence for bread wheat was long
thought beyond the limits of genome sequencing and assembly technology, primarily due to …

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 …

A better understanding of the extent of convergent selection among crops could greatly
improve breeding programs. We found that the quantitative trait locus KRN2 in maize and its …
