MoGAAAP automates genome assembly and annotation using HiFi and other long-read data, producing quality assessments for comparative genomics.

Drone-based remote phenotyping combined with machine learning and Bayesian analysis identified two loci regulating daily floral opening time in lettuce.

The paper characterizes the structural diversity of plant mitochondrial DNA in lettuce species using long-read and short-read sequencing, revealing complex isoforms and recombination events.
