The paper identifies shared genomic signatures of Arctic adaptation across distantly related plant species by comparing genome assemblies and analyzing selection pressures and repetitive elements.

This study investigates the genetic basis of sex determination in waterhemp, revealing complex chromosomal diversity and phenotypic variability associated with the transition to dioecy.

The paper uses genome sequencing to show genetic drift impacts bull and giant kelp populations, with no purging of harmful alleles, and suggests conservation strategies.

This study identifies chromosomal inversions in mango genomes and shows they accumulate both deleterious and favorable loci, impacting breeding traits.

RepeatOBserver visualizes tandem repeats and identifies centromeres using Fourier transforms, finding that centromeres are in low-diversity repeat regions.

The paper uses population genomics to analyze contemporary and Little-Ice-Age samples of Arctic White Heather, finding multiple Pleistocene refugia across the Arctic.
