The paper reports the de novo assembly and annotation of the soybean cultivar Hwangkeum, revealing genetic variants and structural features compared to the Williams 82 reference genome.

The paper presents a genome-wide variation map of soybean accessions to study domestication-related mutations and finds a reduction in deleterious alleles in domesticated soybean.

This study improves variant calling in grape genomes and identifies genetic factors contributing to seedlessness, including a major dominant gene and minor recessive loci.
