Mutations of short tandem repeats explain abundant trait heritability in Arabidopsis

This study identifies STR mutations as a significant source of heritability in Arabidopsis by analyzing their impact on gene expression, splicing, and phenotypes.

An evolutionary leap in plant reproduction: From archegonia and motile sperm to embryo sacs and pollen tubes

The paper investigates the evolutionary transition in plant reproduction from archegonia to embryo sacs and pollen tubes using transcriptomic data from Ginkgo and related species.

The 1001G+ project: A curated collection of Arabidopsis thaliana long-read genome assemblies to advance plant research

The paper curates and presents a collection of long-read genome assemblies for Arabidopsis thaliana accessions to enhance plant genome research.

Towards an unbiased characterization of genetic polymorphism

The paper analyzes whole-genome polymorphism data from 27 Arabidopsis thaliana genomes to highlight challenges and insights in unbiased genetic variation characterization.

A basic framework governing splice-site choice in eukaryotes

The paper quantifies splice-site usage variation across species and identifies intronic hexamer sequences as key determinants of splice-site choice through GWAS and experimental validation.

Genome-wide signatures of geographic expansion and breeding process in soybean

This study analyzes genome sequences of 2,214 soybeans to trace its evolutionary history, identifying four geographic expansion paths and local adaptation mechanisms.
