The paper presents a high-quality wheat genome assembly and analyzes the evolution of gluten genes contributing to wheat end-use quality.

This study evaluates SV detection methods using HiFi sequencing in wheat, finding optimal aligners and callers and demonstrating low-coverage HiFi sequencing is sufficient for accurate SV discovery.

This paper constructs a high-density genetic variation map of wheat using 1,062 genomes, revealing higher genetic diversity in wild emmer wheat and diploid goatgrass compared to common wheat.

This study uses whole-genome sequences of 795 wheats to trace the population history of bread wheat and its relatives, revealing origins, speciation, and spread across Eurasia.

This study evaluates SV detection using PacBio HiFi sequencing in wheat genomes, finding that aligners and callers significantly impact accuracy and that low-coverage HiFi sequencing can generate high-quality SV genotypes.

This study uses whole-genome sequencing of Triticum and Aegilops populations to show that introgression from wild relatives contributed 13-36% of the bread wheat genome, enhancing genetic diversity and enabling adaptation, while convergent adaptation to human selection was enriched despite ploidy and environmental differences.
