Genomes represent the starting point of genetic studies. Since the discovery of DNA
structure, scientists have devoted great efforts to determine their sequence in an exact way …

Several new genomics technologies have become available that offer long-read sequencing
or long-range mapping with higher throughput and higher resolution analysis than ever …

A complete telomere-to-telomere (T2T) finished genome has been the long pursuit of
genomic research. Through generating deep coverage ultralong Oxford Nanopore …

A better understanding of the extent of convergent selection among crops could greatly
improve breeding programs. We found that the quantitative trait locus KRN2 in maize and its …

Pearl millet is an important cereal crop worldwide and shows superior heat tolerance. Here,
we developed a graph-based pan-genome by assembling ten chromosomal genomes with …

Setaria italica (foxtail millet), a founder crop of East Asian agriculture, is a model plant for C4
photosynthesis and developing approaches to adaptive breeding across multiple climates …

We report de novo genome assemblies, transcriptomes, annotations, and methylomes for
the 26 inbreds that serve as the founders for the maize nested association mapping …

Motivation Improvements in DNA sequencing technology and computational methods have
led to a substantial increase in the creation of high-quality genome assemblies of many …

Complete and accurate reference genomes and annotations provide fundamental resources
for functional genomics and crop breeding. Here we report a de novo assembly and …

Promoter editing represents an innovative approach to introduce quantitative trait variation
(QTV) in crops. However, an efficient promoter editing system for QTV needs to be …
