Abstract Background Transposable elements (TEs) have a profound influence on the
trajectory of plant evolution, driving genome expansion and catalyzing phenotypic …

Background Millennia of directional human selection has reshaped the genomic architecture
of cultivated cotton relative to wild counterparts, but we have limited understanding of the …

Structural variations (SVs) have long been described as being involved in the origin,
adaption, and domestication of species. However, the underlying genetic and genomic …

Transposable elements (TEs) account for a large proportion of eukaryotic genomes and
contribute to the evolution of novel genic sequences as well as regulatory elements (Long et …

Cotton is not only an important cash crop for its fiber, but also an excellent model system for
studying polyploidization, cell elongation and cell wall biosynthesis (Yang et al., 2014; Fang …

Background The most widely cultivated cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L., AD-genome) is
derived from tetraploidization between A-and D-genome species. G. arboreum L.(A …

The two cultivated allopolyploid cottons, Gossypium hirsutum and Gossypium barbadense,
represent a remarkable example of parallel independent domestication, both involving …

Cotton is a major fiber plant, which provides raw materials for clothing, protecting humans
from the harsh environment of cold or hot weathers, enriching the culture and custom of …

Background SNPs are the most abundant polymorphism type, and have been explored in
many crop genomic studies, including rice and maize. SNP discovery in allotetraploid cotton …

Phenotypic diversity and evolutionary innovation ultimately trace to variation in genomic
sequence and rewiring of regulatory networks. Here, we constructed a pan-genome of the …
