Background Native cattle breeds are an important source of genetic variation because they
might carry alleles that enable them to adapt to local environment and tough feeding …

We elucidate grapevine evolution and domestication histories with 3525 cultivated and wild
accessions worldwide. In the Pleistocene, harsh climate drove the separation of wild grape …

Pan-genomes from large natural populations can capture genetic diversity and reveal
genomic complexity. Using de novo long-read assembly, we generated a graph-based …

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

Zero hunger and good health could be realized by 2030 through effective conservation,
characterization and utilization of germplasm resources. So far, few chickpea (Cicer …
