The paper introduces CAPTUS, a phylogenomics pipeline that efficiently handles mixed sequencing data, revealing topological conflicts in the evolution of Cucurbitales.

The paper classifies melon accessions into seed types and genetic populations, revealing polyphyletic domestication and hybridization that increased genetic diversity, with distinct geographic origins.

This study uses genotyping-by-sequencing to analyze 723 cucumber accessions, revealing multiple dispersal routes to East Asia and Southeast Asia.
