This study identifies centromeric repeat turnovers in Arabidopsis species, revealing evolutionary mechanisms and the role of genetic drift and centromere drive in repeat replacement.

This study develops a model to predict optimal growth temperature in prokaryotes using genomic data, finding that incorporating gene presence/absence improves accuracy for psychrophiles.

The paper analyzes the genomic structure and evolution of the S-locus in apple to show how balancing selection maintains conserved S-haplotype architectures despite structural divergence.

This study shows that local adaptation in Arabidopsis thaliana involves strong and variable selection on multiple traits, with trade-offs and life-history strategies affecting fitness.

The paper uses long-read sequencing to identify 62 S-RNase alleles in Petunia, including 45 novel types, and validates the method through sequencing and crossing experiments.

This study uses population genomics to analyze climate adaptation and demographic history in Japanese Arabidopsis halleri, revealing genetic differentiation and selection signatures linked to climate variables.
