A high-quality bread wheat genome unravels adaptive evolution of wheat end-use quality

The paper presents a high-quality wheat genome assembly and analyzes the evolution of gluten genes contributing to wheat end-use quality.

Structural variation discovery in wheat using PacBio high-fidelity sequencing

This study evaluates SV detection methods using HiFi sequencing in wheat, finding optimal aligners and callers and demonstrating low-coverage HiFi sequencing is sufficient for accurate SV discovery.

An integrated map of genetic variation from 1,062 wheat genomes

This paper constructs a high-density genetic variation map of wheat using 1,062 genomes, revealing higher genetic diversity in wild emmer wheat and diploid goatgrass compared to common wheat.

Population genomics unravels the Holocene history of Triticum-Aegilops species

This study uses whole-genome sequences of 795 wheats to trace the population history of bread wheat and its relatives, revealing origins, speciation, and spread across Eurasia.

Genotyping of structural variation using PacBio high-fidelity sequencing

This study evaluates SV detection using PacBio HiFi sequencing in wheat genomes, finding that aligners and callers significantly impact accuracy and that low-coverage HiFi sequencing can generate high-quality SV genotypes.
