The paper constructs a cucumber pangenome to analyze structural variant dynamics during domestication and breeding, finding SVs are purged more than SNPs and improving genomic prediction accuracy.

This study uses whole-genome sequencing of Triticum and Aegilops populations to show that introgression from wild relatives contributed 13-36% of the bread wheat genome, enhancing genetic diversity and enabling adaptation, while convergent adaptation to human selection was enriched despite ploidy and environmental differences.

BLINK improves statistical power and reduces computing time for GWAS by replacing FarmCPU's bin method with Bayesian information criteria and linkage disequilibrium information.
