All families of transposable elements were active in the recent wheat genome evolution and polyploidy had no impact on their activity

The paper analyzes TE variability across wheat genomes and finds no increase in transposition rates due to polyploidy.

A second generation capture panel for cost-effective sequencing of genome regulatory regions in wheat and relatives

The paper develops an updated capture panel for sequencing regulatory regions in wheat and related species, improving specificity and coverage over previous methods.

Long-read and chromosome-scale assembly of the hexaploid wheat genome achieves high resolution for research and breeding

This paper presents a high-quality chromosome-scale genome assembly of bread wheat using long-read sequencing, enhancing research and breeding applications.

New insights into homoeologous copy number variations in the hexaploid wheat genome

This study examines homoeologous copy number variations in hexaploid wheat, showing that triads represent core genes while dyads and tetrads are dispensable, with subgenome differences linked to post-polyploid diploidization.

CNVmap: a method and software to detect and map copy number variants from segregation data

CNVmap detects and maps copy number variants using segregation data from genetic mapping panels, identifying up to 33 CNV types in maize and wheat populations.

Worldwide phylogeography and history of wheat genetic diversity

A phylogeographical study reveals the complex history of wheat genetic diversity through time and space.

Phenomic selection: a low-cost and high-throughput method based on indirect predictions. Proof of concept on wheat and poplar.

This paper introduces phenomic selection, a low-cost, high-throughput method using near-infrared spectroscopy to predict complex traits in wheat and poplar with accuracy comparable to molecular markers.

Linking the International Wheat Genome Sequencing Consortium bread wheat reference genome sequence to wheat genetic and phenomic data

The paper introduces a portal linking the bread wheat reference genome to genetic and phenomic data for wheat improvement.

Impact of transposable elements on genome structure and evolution in bread wheat

The paper analyzes the impact of transposable elements on genome structure and evolution in bread wheat, finding conserved TE distribution and chromatin structure across subgenomes.
