We used 20 de novo genome assemblies to probe the speciation history and architecture of
gene flow in rapidly radiating Heliconius butterflies. Our tests to distinguish incomplete …

Advances in genome sequencing and assembly technologies are generating many high-
quality genome sequences, but assemblies of large, repeat-rich polyploid genomes, such as …

Hi-C contact maps are valuable for genome assembly (;;). Recently, we developed Juicebox,
a system for the visual exploration of Hi-C data, and 3D-DNA, an automated pipeline for …

In the year 2018, the world witnessed the finale of the race to sequence the genome of the
world's most widely grown crop, the common wheat. Wheat has been known to bear a …

We have established a high-quality, chromosome-level genome assembly for the hexaploid
common wheat cultivar 'Fielder', an American, soft, white, pastry-type wheat released in …

Barley (Hordeum vulgare) is one of the most important crops worldwide and is also
considered a research model for the large-genome small grain temperate cereals. Despite …

Disease susceptibility and resistance are important factors for the conservation of
endangered species, including elephants. We analyzed pathology data from 26 zoos and …

Short tandem repeat (STR) instability causes transcriptional silencing in several repeat
expansion disorders. In fragile X syndrome (FXS), mutation-length expansion of a CGG STR …

The long-term evolutionary impacts of whole-genome duplication (WGD) are strongly
influenced by the ensuing rediploidization process. Following autopolyploidization …

The relative importance of various sensory modalities can shift in response to evolutionary
transitions, resulting in changes to underlying gene families encoding their reception …
