Oryza genome evolution through a tetraploid lens

The paper presents 11 new chromosome-level genome assemblies of Oryza species, revealing core genome conservation and subgenome plasticity, and highlights implications for crop improvement.

HPC-based genome variant calling workflow (HPC-GVCW)

The paper presents an HPC-based workflow for genome variant calling using GATK, demonstrating SNP detection in four plant species and identifying novel SNPs in rice.

Pan-genome inversion index reveals evolutionary insights into the subpopulation structure of Asian rice (Oryza sativa)

The paper constructs a pan-genome inversion index for Asian rice using 16 genomes and finds a high inversion rate with functional implications.

AGO1 in association with NEAT1 lncRNA contributes to nuclear and 3D chromatin architecture in human cells

This study shows AGO1 and NEAT1 lncRNA maintain 3D chromatin architecture by regulating TADs and A/B compartments in human cells.
