Polyploidy, or whole genome multiplication, is ubiquitous among angiosperms. Many crop
species are relatively recent allopolyploids, resulting from interspecific hybridization and …

Comparative genetics, genomics and cytogenetics provide tools to trace the evolutionary
history of extant genomes. Yet, the interpretation of rapidly increasing genomic data is not …

MCScan is an algorithm able to scan multiple genomes or subgenomes in order to identify
putative homologous chromosomal regions, and align these regions using genes as …

Oranges are an important nutritional source for human health and have immense economic
value. Here we present a comprehensive analysis of the draft genome of sweet orange …

Watermelon, Citrullus lanatus, is an important cucurbit crop grown throughout the world.
Here we report a high-quality draft genome sequence of the east Asia watermelon cultivar …

2012 still-prevalent view that every bit of an organism's DNA has a specific function crafted
by selection. Thus, both papers promoted Dawkins' concept of “selfish DNA”—the notion that …

We sequenced and assembled the draft genome of Theobroma cacao, an economically
important tropical-fruit tree crop that is the source of chocolate. This assembly corresponds …

Fungi are ubiquitous in the world and responsible for driving the evolution and governing
the sustainability of ecosystems now and in the past. Fossil Fungi is the first encyclopedic …

Date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) is a cultivated woody plant species with agricultural and
economic importance. Here we report a genome assembly for an elite variety (Khalas) …

We used a novel approach that incorporated chromosome sorting, next-generation
sequencing, array hybridization, and systematic exploitation of conserved synteny with …
