This study analyzes the origins and evolutionary dynamics of the allopolyploid grass Brachypodium hybridum using whole-genome sequencing and phylogenomic approaches, revealing three independent allopolyploidization events and subgenome-specific evolutionary patterns.

The paper examines introgression from cultivated barley into wild barley accessions, finding 16% of accessions show genetic evidence of introgression, with implications for conservation.

The paper identifies dopamine biosynthesis pathway in plants using metabolite-based genome-wide association studies and demonstrates its role in tissue browning and stress tolerance.

This study analyzes mutations induced by sodium azide in barley, finding specific patterns of SNVs and indels that differ from natural variation.

This study examines intratumor heterogeneity and evolution patterns in colorectal cancer, finding a Darwinian pattern with differences between right-sided and left-sided tumors.

The paper identifies genetic loci associated with low temperature and drought tolerance in barley using environmental association and linkage disequilibrium analysis.

The paper evaluates seven comparative genomic methods for predicting deleterious variants in Arabidopsis thaliana and finds their relative performance varies across species.
