Recent years have seen a surge in plant genome sequencing projects and the comparison
of multiple related individuals. The high degree of genomic variation observed led to the …

Multiple “omics” approaches have emerged as successful technologies for plant systems
over the last few decades. Advances in next-generation sequencing (NGS) have paved a …

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

Soybean is one of the most important vegetable oil and protein feed crops. To capture the
entire genomic diversity, it is needed to construct a complete high-quality pan-genome from …

Infections caused by the fungal pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus are increasingly resistant to
first-line azole antifungal drugs. However, despite its clinical importance, little is known …

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

Rapeseed (Brassica napus) is the second most important oilseed crop in the world but the
genetic diversity underlying its massive phenotypic variations remains largely unexplored …

The human reference genome is the most widely used resource in human genetics and is
due for a major update. Its current structure is a linear composite of merged haplotypes from …

Large-scale population genomic surveys are essential to explore the phenotypic diversity of
natural populations. Here we report the whole-genome sequencing and phenotyping of …

Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fn), a bacterium present in the human oral cavity and rarely
found in the lower gastrointestinal tract of healthy individuals, is enriched in human …
