The paper presents chromosome-scale genomes for two walnut species and identifies gene presence/absence differences linked to fungal defense mechanisms between tolerant and susceptible populations.

The paper sequenced genomes of two invasive adelgid species to identify potential targets for selective insecticides through comparative analysis and virtual screening.

The paper presents a chromosome-scale reference genome for butternut (Juglans cinerea), an endangered species, using Oxford Nanopore sequencing and scaffolding with a related species genome.

This study evaluates methods for improving genome annotation in non-model plants by testing workflows and inputs across five plant genomes.
