Ancient duplication events and a high rate of retention of extant pairs of duplicate genes
have contributed to an abundance of duplicate genes in plant genomes. These duplicates …

We report de novo genome assemblies, transcriptomes, annotations, and methylomes for
the 26 inbreds that serve as the founders for the maize nested association mapping …

Maize is an important crop with a high level of genome diversity and heterosis. The genome
sequence of a typical female line, B73, was previously released. Here, we report a de novo …

Zea mays is an important genetic model for elucidating transcriptional networks.
Uncertainties about the complete structure of mRNA transcripts limit the progress of research …

This unit describes how to use the genome annotation and curation tools MAKER and
MAKER‐P to annotate protein‐coding and noncoding RNA genes in newly assembled …

Maize has a long history of genetic and genomic tool development and is considered one of
the most accessible higher plant systems. With a fully sequenced genome, a suite of …

Abstract Background Highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum) has long been
consumed for its unique flavor and composition of health-promoting phytonutrients …

The maize W22 inbred has served as a platform for maize genetics since the mid twentieth
century. To streamline maize genome analyses, we have sequenced and de novo …

Complete and accurate reference genomes and annotations provide fundamental tools for
characterization of genetic and functional variation. These resources facilitate the …

Wheat is an important global crop with an extremely large and complex genome that
contains more transposable elements (TEs) than any other known crop species. Here, we …
