Time-resolved transcriptome of barley anthers and meiocytes reveals robust and largely stable gene expression changes at meiosis entry

The paper analyzes RNA-seq data from barley anthers and meiocytes to show that gene expression changes are most significant at meiosis entry, with lncRNAs being downregulated and only 24% of meiotic gene orthologues showing differential expression.

BaRTv1.0: an improved barley reference transcript dataset to determine accurate changes in the barley transcriptome using RNA-seq

The paper develops BaRTv1.0, a high-quality barley reference transcript dataset, enabling accurate RNA-seq analysis of gene expression and alternative splicing.
