Background The combination of long reads and long-range information to produce genome
assemblies is now accepted as a common standard. This strategy not only allows access to …

Meiotic recombination is a major evolutionary process generating genetic diversity at each
generation in sexual organisms. However, this process is highly regulated, with the majority …

Traditionally, reference genomes in crop species rely on the assembly of one accession, thus
occulting most of intraspecific diversity. However, rearrangements, gene duplications, and …

Simple Summary Reconstructing plant genomes is a difficult task due to their often large
sizes, unusual ploidy, and large numbers of repeated elements. However, the field of …

Simple Summary The selection of varieties more resilient to disease and climate change
requires generating new genetic diversity for breeding. The main mechanism for reshuffling …

Duplication of genes at different time period, through recurrent and frequent polyploidization
events, have played a major role in plant evolution, adaptation and diversification. …

The koi sleepy disease of carp caused by the carp oedema virus (CEV) was observed on
farms and in ponds in France since the 2010s. Samples of CEV collected in France over a …

Plants as animals are strictly associated with a cortege of microbial communities influencing
their health, fitness and evolution. Therefore, scientists refer to all living organisms as …

Traditionally, reference genomes in crop species rely on the assembly of one accession, thus
occulting most of intraspecific diversity. However, rearrangements, gene duplications and …

Meiotic recombination is a key biological process in plant evolution and breeding, as it
generates novel genetic diversity at each generation. However, due to its importance in …
