Publication of the complete genome sequence of Arabidopsis thaliana, the first plant
reference genome, in December 2000 heralded the beginning of the plant genome era …

Genetic diversity is key to crop improvement. Owing to pervasive genomic structural
variation, a single reference genome assembly cannot capture the full complement of …

Long nanopore reads are advantageous in de novo genome assembly. However, nanopore
reads usually have broad error distribution and high-error-rate subsequences. Existing error …

Sequence assembly of large and repeat-rich plant genomes has been challenging,
requiring substantial computational resources and often several complementary sequence …

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 …

Existing long-read assemblers require thousands of central processing unit hours to
assemble a human genome and are being outpaced by sequencing technologies in terms of …

Rice (Oryza sativa), a major staple throughout the world and a model system for plant
genomics and breeding, was the first crop genome sequenced almost two decades ago …

Like many other crops, the cultivated peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is of hybrid origin and
has a polyploid genome that contains essentially complete sets of chromosomes from two …

Long-term climate change and periodic environmental extremes threaten food and fuel
security and global crop productivity,–. Although molecular and adaptive breeding strategies …
