The aquatic Lemnaceae family, commonly called duckweed, comprises some of the smallest
and fastest growing angiosperms known on Earth. Their tiny size, rapid growth by clonal …

Highlights • NGS speed and capacity enable over 100 published plant genomes. • Underserved
specialty and orphan crop genomic resources grow due to low cost NGS. • Double …

Highlights • Long read sequencing has improved genome assembly by an order of
magnitude. • New genome assembly algorithms leverage long, error prone reads to untangle …

Papaya, a fruit crop cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions, is known for its nutritional
benefits and medicinal applications. Here we report a 3× draft genome sequence of ‘SunUp’ …

The woodland strawberry, Fragaria vesca (2n = 2x = 14), is a versatile experimental plant
system. This diminutive herbaceous perennial has a small genome (240 Mb), is amenable to …

… True Positives (TP) are positions where 1001G and WGA variants are … FP/(TP+FP), the
False Negative Rate is defined as FN/(FN+TP) and the True Positive Rate is defined as TP/(TP+FN…

Vascular plants appeared ~410 million years ago, then diverged into several lineages of
which only two survive: the euphyllophytes (ferns and seed plants) and the lycophytes. We …

The epigenome orchestrates genome accessibility, functionality, and three-dimensional
structure. Because epigenetic variation can impact transcription and thus phenotypes, it may …

INTRODUCTION The centromeres of eukaryotic chromosomes assemble the multiprotein
kinetochore complex and thereby position attachment to the spindle microtubules, allowing …

Correct daily phasing of transcription confers an adaptive advantage to almost all organisms,
including higher plants. In this study, we describe a hypothesis-driven network discovery …
