The paper develops lrSAGA, a tool to improve genome assembly from long-read MDA sequencing of single cells, achieving higher completeness and fewer misassemblies.

The paper shows that nitrogen responses in plant roots are cell-type specific and evolve across species, with NLP7 proteins modulating these responses in Arabidopsis and tomato.

This paper presents a chromosome-level genome assembly of Urochloa humidicola, revealing its octoploid structure, evolutionary origins, and subgenome relationships.

The paper uses single-cell sequencing to reveal genetic diversity in Bodo flagellates and their bacterial endosymbionts, showing SSU rDNA is insufficient for species classification.

The paper uses whole genome sequencing to analyze genetic differentiation and plasticity in sympatric morphs of Arctic charr across multiple lakes, revealing a polygenic basis and varying levels of reproductive isolation.

The paper uses single-molecule sequencing to show most DNA replication initiation in human cells occurs at dispersed sites, not just previously identified zones.

The paper presents a high-quality genome assembly for the GIANT Nile tilapia strain, enabling the reconstruction of X and Y haplotypes and identifying sex determination loci on LG23.

This study presents a chromosome-scale genome assembly and annotation of Alopecurus aequalis, revealing its genetic similarity to barley and expansion of herbicide resistance genes.

The paper presents a reference genome assembly for the Violet Carpenter Bee, including gene annotation and mitochondrial genome, as part of the European Reference Genome Atlas.

This study annotates the wheat pan-transcriptome de novo and identifies gene diversity and expression patterns across multiple wheat cultivars and tissues.
