The paper builds contrastive models to predict expression differences between ortholog pairs using a multiomic dataset from legumes.

This paper develops a lentil NAM population to identify loci underlying complex traits, finding 14 significant loci including novel associations near AP3a, HUB2a, and PIF6 genes.

This paper develops a knowledge graph and uses graph neural networks to improve gene functional annotation in plants, outperforming orthology-based methods in transferring knowledge between species.

This paper uses CRISPR/Cas9 to deplete repetitive DNA in lentil genomes, improving genotyping accuracy and efficiency by focusing sequencing on single-copy regions.

The paper presents a chromosome-scale rye genome assembly to study genomic evolution and agronomic traits in Triticeae crops.
