Background The growing wealth of knowledge on whole-plant genome sequences is
highlighting the key role of transposable elements (TEs) in plant evolution, as a driver of …

Conifers have evolved complex oleoresin terpene defenses against herbivores and
pathogens. In co‐evolved bark beetles, conifer terpenes also serve chemo‐ecological …

The large size and complexity of most fern genomes have hampered efforts to elucidate
fundamental aspects of fern biology and land plant evolution through genome-enabled …

This unit describes how to use the genome annotation and curation tools MAKER and
MAKER‐P to annotate protein‐coding and noncoding RNA genes in newly assembled …

Background The size and complexity of conifer genomes has, until now, prevented full
genome sequencing and assembly. The large research community and economic …

Some notable exceptions aside, eukaryotic genomes are distinguished from those of
Bacteria and Archaea in a number of ways, including chromosome structure and number …

Conifers are the predominant gymnosperm. The size and complexity of their genomes has
presented formidable technical challenges for whole-genome shotgun sequencing and …

Abstract Background Ginkgo biloba L.(Ginkgoaceae) is one of the most distinctive plants. It
possesses a suite of fascinating characteristics including a large genome, outstanding …

Accessing and exploring large-scale genomics data sets remains a significant challenge to
researchers without specialist bioinformatics training. We present the integrated PlantGenIE …

Non-model plants ie, the species which have one or all of the characters such as long life
cycle, difficulty to grow in the laboratory or poor fecundity, have been schemed out of …
