To decipher the genetic diversity within the cucurbit genus Citrullus, we generated telomere-
to-telomere (T2T) assemblies of 27 distinct genotypes, encompassing all seven Citrullus …

Liquid biopsies, in particular, analysis of cell-free DNA, are expected to revolutionize the
current landscape of cancer diagnostics and treatment. However, the existing methods for …

Cryptic fungal pathogens pose disease management challenges due to their morphological
resemblance to known pathogens. Here, we investigated the genomes and phenotypes of …

Complete mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) of plants are valuable resources for
nucleocytoplasmic interactions, plant evolution, and plant cytoplasmic male sterile line …

The model plant Physcomitrium patens has played a pivotal role in enhancing our
comprehension of plant evolution and development. However, the current genome harbours …

Grapevine breeding is hindered by a limited understanding of the genetic basis of complex
agronomic traits. This study constructs a graph-based pangenome reference (Grapepan v …

The evolution of roots allowed vascular plants to adapt to land environments. Fossil
evidence indicates that roots evolved independently in euphyllophytes (ferns and seed …

Advancements in sequencing have enabled the assembly of numerous sheep genomes,
