cis-Regulatory elements encode the genomic blueprints that ensure the proper
spatiotemporal patterning of gene expression necessary for appropriate development and …

Long-read sequencing technologies have now reached a level of accuracy and yield that
allows their application to variant detection at a scale of tens to thousands of samples …

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 …

A complete telomere-to-telomere (T2T) finished genome has been the long pursuit of
genomic research. Through generating deep coverage ultralong Oxford Nanopore …

The field of plant genome sequencing has grown rapidly in the past 20 years, leading to
increases in the quantity and quality of publicly available genomic resources. The growing …

Pan-genomes from large natural populations can capture genetic diversity and reveal
genomic complexity. Using de novo long-read assembly, we generated a graph-based …

The development of multiple chromosome-scale reference genome sequences in many
taxonomic groups has yielded a high-resolution view of the patterns and processes of …

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

Teosinte, the wild ancestor of maize (Zea mays subsp. mays), has three times the seed
protein content of most modern inbreds and hybrids, but the mechanisms that are …

Broomcorn millet (Panicum miliaceum L.) is an orphan crop with the potential to improve
cereal production and quality, and ensure food security. Here we present the genetic …
