This study presents a chromosome-scale genome assembly and annotation of Alopecurus aequalis, revealing its genetic similarity to barley and expansion of herbicide resistance genes.

This study annotates the wheat pan-transcriptome de novo and identifies gene diversity and expression patterns across multiple wheat cultivars and tissues.

This paper presents a novel haplotype-specific assembly method to resolve the complex genome of Fragilariopsis cylindrus, revealing triploidy, aneuploidy, and sexual reproduction.

The paper presents a high-quality genome assembly for the barley cultivar Golden Promise, useful for genetic research and CRISPR-Cas9 experiments.

The paper analyzes recombination patterns in hexaploid wheat, identifies genes controlling recombination and gene conversion, and highlights a novel RecQ helicase gene involved in gene conversion.

The paper analyzes the genetic diversity of Hymenoscyphus fraxineus, showing the European population was founded by two divergent haplotypes with adaptive potential.

This paper introduces skip-mers as an improved method for detecting conserved genic regions, showing increased entropy and sensitivity compared to traditional k-mers.

The paper introduces a pipeline for generating high-quality genome assemblies from short read data, demonstrating its effectiveness on plant and human datasets.

KAT assesses quality and contamination in NGS data and assemblies using k-mer frequencies and GC composition without a reference.
