Trait Association and Prediction Through Integrative K-mer Analysis

This study uses k-mer GWAS to identify genetic associations with maize traits and shows comparable prediction accuracy to SNP-based methods.

Chromosome-level Genome Assembly of a Regenerable Maize Inbred Line A188

This paper presents a chromosome-level genome assembly of maize inbred line A188 and identifies structural variations and gene expression differences compared to the reference line B73.

HB-PLS: An algorithm for identifying biological process or pathway regulators by integrating Huber loss and Berhu penalty with Partial Least Square

HB-PLS identifies pathway regulators by integrating Huber loss and Berhu penalty with PLS, outperforming existing methods in efficiency and distinct regulator identification.

Estimating Assembly Base Errors Using K-mer Abundance Difference (KAD) Between Short Reads and Genome Assembled Sequences

This study introduces KAD, a method to estimate base errors and assess genome assembly quality by comparing k-mer abundance from short reads and assembled sequences.

Temporal Small RNA Expression Profiling Under Drought Reveals a Potential Regulatory Role of snoRNAs in Drought Responses of Maize

The paper profiles temporal small RNA expression in maize under drought stress and identifies snoRNAs as potential regulators of drought responses.

Unbiased K-mer Analysis Reveals Changes in Copy Number of Highly Repetitive Sequences During Maize Domestication and Improvement

The paper uses k-mer analysis of maize genomes to identify changes in repetitive sequence copy numbers during domestication and improvement.

Maize pan-transcriptome provides novel insights into genome complexity and quantitative trait variation

This study identifies ePAVs in maize using RNA-seq data and links them to agronomic and metabolic traits, revealing novel sequences absent in the reference genome.
