Cotton is an irreplaceable economic crop currently domesticated in the human world for its
extremely elongated fiber cells specialized in seed epidermis, which makes it of high …

Upland cotton is an important global cash crop for its long seed fibers and high edible oil
and protein content. Progress in cotton genomics promotes the advancement of cotton …

Phenotypic diversity and evolutionary innovation ultimately trace to variation in genomic
sequence and rewiring of regulatory networks. Here, we constructed a pan-genome of the …

Over the last eight years, the volume of whole genome, gene expression, SNP genotyping,
and phenotype data generated by the cotton research community has exponentially …

The organization of chromatin into self-interacting domains is universal among eukaryotic
genomes, though how and why they form varies considerably. Here we report a …

Assembly of complete genomes can reveal functional genetic elements missing from draft
sequences. Here we present the near-complete telomere-to-telomere and contiguous …

Background Despite remarkable advances in our knowledge of epigenetically mediated
transcriptional programming of cell differentiation in plants, little is known about chromatin …

Centromere positioning and organization are crucial for genome evolution; however,
research on centromere biology is largely influenced by the quality of available genome …

Baobab (Adansonia digitata) is a long-lived tree endemic to Africa with economic,
ecological, and cultural importance, yet its genomic features are underexplored. Here, we …

Background Many elite genes have been identified from the available cotton genomic data,
providing various genetic resources for gene-driven breeding. However, backbone cultivar …
