Over the past decade, genomics-assisted breeding (GAB) has been instrumental in
harnessing the potential of modern genome resources and characterizing and exploiting …

Crop wild relatives (CWRs) have provided breeders with several'game-changing'traits or
genes that have boosted crop resilience and global agricultural production. Advances in …

Missing heritability in genome-wide association studies defines a major problem in genetic
analyses of complex biological traits,. The solution to this problem is to identify all causal …

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 …

Setaria italica (foxtail millet), a founder crop of East Asian agriculture, is a model plant for C4
photosynthesis and developing approaches to adaptive breeding across multiple climates …

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

Sequence assembly of large and repeat-rich plant genomes has been challenging,
requiring substantial computational resources and often several complementary sequence …

Long-read sequencing (LRS) technologies have provided extremely powerful tools to
explore genomes. While in the early years these methods suffered technical limitations, they …

As a major event in human civilization, wild plants were successfully domesticated to be
crops, largely owing to continuing artificial selection. Here, we summarize new discoveries …

Domestication and breeding have reshaped the genomic architecture of chicken, but the
retention and loss of genomic elements during these evolutionary processes remain …
