The paper identifies the candidate gene SUGI_0493010 for MS2-type male sterility in Japanese cedar using linkage mapping and transcriptomic data.

The paper presents a chromosome-level genome assembly for the Japanese cedar, using long-read and Hi-C sequencing to achieve high contiguity and accuracy.

LPMX is a rootless container system that enables composability and cross-site usability for genome analysis tools.

The paper identifies a male-sterile gene (MS1) in Japanese cedar by analyzing deletions in a lipid transfer protein gene and proposes marker-assisted selection for breeding.

The paper develops PCR and LAMP markers to detect mutant alleles of the MS1 gene in Cryptomeria japonica for pollen-free cultivar production.

The paper identifies a novel class of structural aberrations in lung cancers using long-read sequencing and shows their occurrence in vivo and in cancer-related genes.

MoMI-G is a web-based genome browser for visualizing structural variants and other genomic annotations, enabling intuitive exploration of large and nested variants.

The paper introduces an adaptive banded dynamic programming algorithm for faster nucleotide sequence alignment, achieving 5x speedup over BLAST+ while maintaining similar sensitivity.
