The paper identifies centromeres as a source of telomeric sequences in Arabidopsis, showing ITR domains arise from centromeres through amplification and adopt a distinct chromatin state.

This study identifies candidate genes and signatures of natural selection in Arabidopsis thaliana's response to commensal bacteria, revealing genetic architecture and adaptation mechanisms.

The paper investigates how natural genetic variation in Arabidopsis thaliana affects centromere-proximal crossover frequency and segregation distortion during meiosis.

This study uses long-read sequencing to detect somatic transposable element mobilization in hypomethylated Arabidopsis thaliana mutants, revealing new mobile elements and variable activity within TE families.

The paper improves somatic mutation detection in a highly heterozygous oak genome by using a read assignment strategy, increasing the mutation rate estimate by fivefold.

This study defines the mutation spectrum in Arabidopsis thaliana centromeres, showing higher point mutation rates and homology-directed repair-driven indels.

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 curates and presents a collection of long-read genome assemblies for Arabidopsis thaliana accessions to enhance plant genome research.

The paper analyzes whole-genome polymorphism data from 27 Arabidopsis thaliana genomes to highlight challenges and insights in unbiased genetic variation characterization.

The paper maps meiotic crossover landscapes near centromeres in Arabidopsis, showing suppression linked to structural variation and DNA methylation.

The paper characterizes telomeric repeat diversity in 49 Arabidopsis thaliana accessions, revealing repeat unit types, evolutionary processes, and haplotype patterns.

The paper uses pool-based amplicon sequencing to analyze haplotype diversity at the ACCase resistance locus in blackgrass, revealing common soft sweeps and the persistence of TSR haplotypes.

The paper compares HiFi and CLR long-read assemblies in Arabidopsis thaliana to assess centromere and rDNA cluster reconstruction, finding HiFi reduces gaps and enables gapless centromere assembly.

The paper identifies 2500 putatively duplicated genes in Arabidopsis thaliana by analyzing SNP calls from short-read sequencing and validates them using de novo genome assemblies.

The paper introduces SNPmatch, an algorithm for genotyping Arabidopsis strains from low-coverage sequencing data, and validates its accuracy using over 2000 strains.

The paper shows that rRNA gene copy number variation in Arabidopsis thaliana is heritable but unstably inherited, explaining why GWAS failed to identify the NORs as the source.
