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.

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.

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.

This study uses whole-genome sequencing of Triticum and Aegilops populations to show that introgression from wild relatives contributed 13-36% of the bread wheat genome, enhancing genetic diversity and enabling adaptation, while convergent adaptation to human selection was enriched despite ploidy and environmental differences.

The paper constructs a cassava haplotype map to evaluate deleterious mutations, finding increased fixed deleterious variants, limited purging due to low recombination, and masking of harmful mutations in breeding.
