The paper identifies MKK3 haplotypes in barley that influence seed dormancy and end-use traits through post-domestication selection, linking them to climate adaptation.

eProbe designs capture probes for aeDNA to improve genetic analysis by significantly increasing target taxa recovery and genome coverage.
