DNA sequencing is in the throes of an enormous technolog-ical shift marked by dramatic
throughput increases, a precipitously dropping per-base cost of raw sequence, and an …

Maize has for many decades been both one of the most important crops worldwide and one
of the primary genetic model organisms. More recently, maize breeding has been impacted …

Zea mays is an important genetic model for elucidating transcriptional networks.
Uncertainties about the complete structure of mRNA transcripts limit the progress of research …

Abstract We report the∼ 2.66-Gb genome sequence of a female Yunnan black goat. The
sequence was obtained by combining short-read sequencing data and optical mapping data …

SNP genotyping arrays have been useful for many applications that require a large number
of molecular markers such as high-density genetic mapping, genome-wide association …

Complete and accurate reference genomes and annotations provide fundamental tools for
characterization of genetic and functional variation. These resources facilitate the …

In plants, basic leucine zipper (bZIP) proteins regulate numerous biological processes such
as seed maturation, flower and vascular development, stress signalling and pathogen …

Deep learning methodologies have revolutionized prediction in many fields and show
potential to do the same in molecular biology and genetics. However, applying these …

Eukaryotic centromeres contain the kinetochore, which connects chromosomes to the
spindle allowing segregation. During meiosis, centromeres are suppressed for inter …

The WRKY transcription factors function in plant growth and development, and response to
the biotic and abiotic stresses. Although many studies have focused on the functional …
