Although applied over extremely short timescales, artificial selection has dramatically altered
the form, physiology, and life history of cultivated plants. We have used RNAseq to define …

Shade from neighboring plants limits light for photosynthesis; as a consequence, plants
have a variety of strategies to avoid canopy shade and compete with their neighbors for light. …

Docker has become a very popular container-based virtualization platform for software
distribution that has revolutionized the way in which scientific software and software …

Plants have sophisticated mechanisms for sensing neighbor shade. To maximize their
ability to compete for light, plants respond to shade through enhanced elongation and …

The mapping and functional analysis of quantitative traits in Brassica rapa can be greatly
improved with the availability of physically positioned, gene-based genetic markers and …

Background Meiotic recombination in eukaryotes requires two homologues of the E. coli
RecA proteins: Rad51 and Dmc1. Both proteins play important roles in the binding of single …

Background Juncus effusus L. (family: Juncaceae; order: Poales) is a helophytic rush growing
in temperate damp or wet terrestrial habitats and is of almost cosmopolitan distribution. …

This workflow allows novice researchers to leverage advanced computational resources
such as cloud computing to carry out pairwise comparative transcriptomics. It also serves as a …

RNA‐seq is a vital method for understanding gene structure and expression patterns. Typical
RNA‐seq analysis protocols use sequencing reads of length 50 to 150 nucleotides for …

Learn concepts, methodologies, and applications of deep learning for building predictive
models from complex genomics data sets to overcome challenges in the life sciences and …
