The Lettuce Expression Browser provides a high-resolution gene expression atlas for cultivated and wild lettuce, enabling exploration of gene activity across development and stress conditions.

MoGAAAP automates genome assembly and annotation using HiFi and other long-read data, producing quality assessments for comparative genomics.

PanVA is a visual analytics tool for exploring pangenomic variants in homologous sequences with metadata and phylogenies.

This study constructs a lettuce super-pangenome to reduce bias in reference genes, identifying novel QTLs for disease resistance and origins of non-reference resistance loci from wild relatives.

The paper reports a chromosome-level genome assembly of Lactuca saligna and identifies resistance genes associated with non-host resistance to downy mildew.
