Repetitive DNA sequences playing critical roles in driving evolution, inducing variation, and
regulating gene expression. In this review, we summarized the definition, arrangement, and …

The Genome 10K Project was established in 2009 by a consortium of biologists and
genome scientists determined to facilitate the sequencing and analysis of the complete …

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 …

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

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 …

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

Mobile elements and repetitive genomic regions are sources of lineage-specific genomic
innovation and uniquely fingerprint individual genomes. Comprehensive analyses of such …

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

Complete and accurate reference genomes and annotations provide fundamental resources
for functional genomics and crop breeding. Here we report a de novo assembly and …

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