Polyploidy (genome duplication) is a pivotal force in evolution. However, the interactions
between parental genomes in a polyploid nucleus, frequently involving subgenome …

Reconstructing the tree of life remains a central goal in biology. Early methods, which relied
on small numbers of morphological or genetic characters, often yielded conflicting …

Brassica oleracea, globally cultivated for its vegetable crops, consists of very diverse
morphotypes, characterized by specialized enlarged organs as harvested products. This …

We present chromosome-level genome assemblies from representative species of three
independently evolved seagrass lineages: Posidonia oceanica, Cymodocea nodosa …

In some mammals, notably humans, recombination occurs almost exclusively where the
protein PRDM9 binds, whereas in vertebrates lacking an intact PRDM9, such as birds and …

Abstract Whole-genome duplication (WGD), or polyploidy, events are widespread and
significant in the evolutionary history of angiosperms. However, empirical evidence for …

In order to better understand the mechanisms generating genetic diversity in the recent
allotetraploid species Coffea arabica, here we present a chromosome-level assembly …

As the only surviving lineages of jawless fishes, hagfishes and lampreys provide a crucial
window into early vertebrate evolution,–. Here we investigate the complex history, timing …

Habitat degradation and loss of genetic diversity are common threats faced by almost all of
today's wild cats. Big cats, such as tigers and lions, are of great concern and have received …

Wood formation involves consecutive developmental steps, including cell division of
vascular cambium, xylem cell expansion, secondary cell wall (SCW) deposition, and …
