The paper uses pan-genomics and genome editing in Solanum to show that paralog diversification hinders genotype-phenotype predictability in crop domestication.

The paper improves a telomere-to-telomere human genome assembly by developing a repeat-aware polishing strategy, fixing 51% of errors and increasing assembly quality.

A gapless 3.055 billion bp human genome from HiFi and ultra-long nanopore reads resolves all centromeric arrays and acrocentric p-arms, adding 182 Mbp of new sequence.

Ultra-long-read sequencing resolves Arabidopsis centromeres, revealing their genetic and epigenetic structure and dynamics.

The paper presents an updated wheat genome assembly, Triticum 4.0, which includes 15.07 gigabases of sequence and over 5700 new genes, improving upon previous assemblies.

RaGOO rapidly and accurately scaffolds draft genomes using a reference genome, achieving chromosome-scale assemblies and identifying structural variants in tomato and Arabidopsis thaliana.

This paper develops a long-read sequencing protocol to improve variant detection and genome assembly in a human genome, achieving high accuracy and contiguity.
