The paper develops a composite genome approach to analyze TF occupancy diversity in barley using short-read data, showing improved accuracy over SNP-replacement strategies for MOA-seq analyses.

This paper introduces a standardized framework for assessing FAIRness in agrosystem research data infrastructures using a multi-dimensional scoring system.

The paper examines antimicrobial repertoires in lichen-forming fungi, finding conserved baseline capacity with lineage-specific variation and reduced antimicrobial systems in cyanolichens.

The paper constructs a chromosome-scale super-pangenome for the lichen genus Peltigera, revealing shared genomic features between pathogenic and mutualistic fungi.

elab2ARC converts ELN records into FAIR-compliant research objects, automating metadata extraction and structured data organization.

This study maps metabolic QTL in tomato using backcross inbred lines, identifies a novel locus affecting sucrose accumulation, and reveals epistatic interactions influencing fruit metabolism.

This study shows that the fungal endophyte Serendipita indica reduces disease susceptibility in Arabidopsis regardless of host genotype and that the immune receptor ISI contributes to root immunity but is not required for endophyte protection.

Helixer, a hybrid convolutional/bLSTM network with a hidden Markov model post-processor, predicts eukaryotic primary gene models from DNA alone, outscoring GenemarkES and AUGUSTUS on most species.

PubPlant catalogs over 1800 sequenced plant genomes, offering visualizations and phylogenetic insights, and highlights gaps in food crop genome sequencing.

The paper investigates the molecular mechanisms of early floral initiation in two seasonal flowering strawberry cultivars under natural conditions, identifying genes related to carbohydrate metabolism, phytohormones, and chromatin structure.

This paper presents a haplotype-resolved genome assembly for the tetraploid potato cultivar Desiree, along with annotations and epigenetic data, providing a resource for potato research.

This paper presents a method for haplotype-resolved assembly of a tetraploid potato genome using long reads and low-depth offspring data, achieving high-quality chromosome-level assemblies with haplotype-specific resolution.

This paper presents a chromosome-scale genome assembly for Solanum lycopersicoides and maps introgression lines to support genetic studies of traits in tomato.

This paper introduces a novel two-stage method for polyploid haplotype phasing using long reads, achieving lower error rates than existing methods in challenging regions.

The paper identifies PvMYB26 as a candidate gene for pod indehiscence in common bean, linking its fine regulation to the absence of a functional abscission layer.

The paper uses nanopore sequencing to assemble a high-quality genome of Solanum pennellii, achieving high gene completeness and structural similarity to a reference genome.

The paper introduces LOGAN, a memory-efficient, lossless data structure for sequence analysis, capable of handling large genomic datasets from multiple organisms.
