The paper assembles the genome of Themeda triandra, finds syntenic relationships with sorghum, and identifies genetic variation linked to environmental adaptation.

The paper introduces cpam, a time series analysis method for omics data that improves detection of temporal changes and changepoints, outperforming existing methods in false discovery rate control and power.

The paper identifies rapid reversible RNA isoform switching in Arabidopsis thaliana during water deficit and recovery, revealing new protein products and mechanisms of stress response.

The paper shows that two unrelated ABH proteins from different bacterial sources independently evolved to perceive strigolactones through horizontal gene transfer.
