KCFtools uses k-mer profiles for introgression screening and GWAS without sequence alignment, showing effectiveness in detecting introgressed segments and trait-associated loci in lettuce.

This study examines homoeologous copy number variations in hexaploid wheat, showing that triads represent core genes while dyads and tetrads are dispensable, with subgenome differences linked to post-polyploid diploidization.

The paper constructs a co-expression network in hexaploid wheat to analyze meiotic gene expression and copy number, finding balanced homeolog expression and no significant gene loss.

The paper analyzes RNA-Seq data from wheat and related species to show that gene expression during early meiosis is not significantly affected by synapsis, ploidy level, or the Ph1 locus.

The paper analyzes the impact of transposable elements on genome structure and evolution in bread wheat, finding conserved TE distribution and chromatin structure across subgenomes.
