The paper analyzes the geometry of breakpoint medians and anti-medians in random signed multichromosomal genomes, showing why medians favor single inputs and what balanced compromises cost.

This study uses genome sequences from Cercis canadensis and Chamaecrista fasciculata to infer legume genome structures and histories, including the timing of whole genome duplications and the ancestral karyotype.

The paper analyzes the genome and population genomics of Coffea arabica to reveal its diversification history and breeding-related genetic changes.

The paper reconstructs ancestral genomes using a new computational method and finds the monoploid chromosome number x = 9 for rosid and asterid orders.

The paper confirms a two-step hybridization model for the formation of hexaploidy in Brassiceae and shows subgenomes have distinct loss rates but functionally compatible genes.

The paper generates high-contiguity long-read assemblies of Brassica nigra, enabling localization of active centromeres and insights into the ancestral Brassica genome.

This paper presents the avocado genome, revealing its phylogenetic position, introgressive hybridization, and pathogen-driven gene space adaptation.

The paper introduces HyPPO, a framework that distinguishes primary and secondary orthologs by combining similarity and phylogeny approaches, achieving superior accuracy in predictions.
