The paper presents a gap-free, telomere-to-telomere genome assembly for date palm and 19 high-quality assemblies, revealing chromosomal structures and sex determination regions.

The paper analyzes DNA degradation in herbarium specimens over time and environments, finding faster decay rates compared to archaeological samples and highlighting environmental factors as key drivers.

The paper presents 11 new chromosome-level genome assemblies of Oryza species, revealing core genome conservation and subgenome plasticity, and highlights implications for crop improvement.

The paper constructs a pan-genome inversion index for Asian rice using 16 genomes and finds a high inversion rate with functional implications.

The paper generates 12 new high-quality rice reference genomes to expand the genetic diversity coverage of cultivated rice, forming a comprehensive pan-genome resource with 16 reference sequences.
