substantial progress has been made in development and improvement of molecular techniques that help to easily find markers of interest on a large-scale, resulting in extensive and successful uses of DNA markers in human genetics, animal genetics and breeding, plant genetics and breeding, and germplas...
696,726 variants were found not to present in the 1000 Genome Project (1KG)22, gnomAD23, or UK10K6(Fig.1c). Of these, 45.6 (99.79%) million were rare variants (MAF < 0.005). We also found 31.37 (38.5%) million variants that were not present in dbSNP Build 15124, including 29...
The orange subfamily (Aurantioideae) contains several Citrus species cultivated worldwide, such as sweet orange and lemon. The origin of Citrus species has long been debated and less is known about the Aurantioideae. Here, we compiled the genome sequence

CRISPR/Cas has emerged as a game-changing technology for genome editing with widespread applications ranging from human therapeutics to engineering bacterial genomes for beneficial purposes to editing plant genomes for agricultural purposes. Successful g
Preserving the genetics Now in the wild, Agaves are called Century plants, because most of them flower in the wild once every hundred years and then they fall over dead. They live their entire life to have one giant horticultural orgasm and then they fall over dead. Now some of them off...
The Hemiptera (aphids, cicadas, and true bugs) are a key insect order, with high diversity for feeding ecology and excellent experimental tractability for molecular genetics. Building upon recent sequencing of hemipteran pests such as phloem-feeding aphids and blood-feeding bed bugs, we present the...
Through human-aided dispersal over the last ~ 10,000 years, house mice (Mus musculus) have recently colonized diverse habitats across the globe, promoting the emergence of new traits that confer adaptive advantages in distinct environments. Despite
Joseph Dalton Hooker, when the director of Kew Gardens, UK (1865–1885) is reported to have said ofWelwitschiathat “it is out of the question the most wonderful plant ever brought to this country and one of the ugliest”. The species shows remarkable tenacity in surviving in the Kaokoveld...
