The pangenome refers to a collection of genomic sequence found in the entire species or
population rather than in a single individual; the sequence can be core, present in all …

It has long been recognized that hybridization and polyploidy are prominent processes in
plant evolution. Although classically recognized as significant in speciation and adaptation …

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 …

Structural variations (SVs) and gene copy number variations (gCNVs) have contributed to
crop evolution, domestication, and improvement. Here, we assembled 31 high-quality …

Structural variants (SVs) underlie important crop improvement and domestication traits.
However, resolving the extent, diversity, and quantitative impact of SVs has been …

Structural variants (SVs) are a largely unexplored feature of plant genomes. Little is known
about the type and size of SVs, their distribution among individuals and, especially, their …

Abstract Background Maize (Zea mays L.) is at the vanguard facing the upcoming breeding
challenges. However, both a super pan-genome for the Zea genus and a comprehensive …

Structural variations (SVs) including gene presence/absence variations and copy number
variations are a common feature of genomes in plants and, together with single nucleotide …

Tomatoes come in a multitude of shapes and flavors despite a narrow genetic pool. Here,
we leverage whole-genome resequencing data available for 602 cultivated and wild …

Genome alignment is one of the most foundational methods for genome sequence studies.
With rapid advances in sequencing and assembly technologies, these newly assembled …
