The Microbiome and Metatranscriptome of a Panel from the Sarracenia Mapping Population Reveal Complex Assembly and Function Involving Host Influence.

This study analyzes the microbiome and metatranscriptome of Sarracenia species to reveal host-influenced community structure and functional convergence.

Genome report: Whole genome sequence and annotation of Penstemon davidsonii

This paper reports the first reference genome assembly and annotation for Penstemon davidsonii using PacBio long-read sequencing and Hi-C scaffolding.

Gapless assembly of maize chromosomes using long read technologies

The paper presents a gapless maize genome assembly using long read technologies and optical maps, achieving telomere-to-telomere assemblies for chromosomes 3 and 9.

Adapterama I: Universal stubs and primers for 384 unique dual-indexed or 147,456 combinatorially-indexed Illumina libraries (iTru & iNext)

The paper introduces dual-indexing systems to reduce NGS start-up, buy-in, and sample preparation costs by enabling combinatorial indexing of Illumina libraries.

Developmental Transcriptional Model describing regulated genes, QTLs and pathways during the primary and secondary cell walls of Pima fibers

The paper identifies differentially expressed genes and QTLs during primary and secondary cell wall development in Pima cotton fibers and proposes a model linking gene regulation to fiber traits.
