The paper constructs a graph-based pangenome of Cucurbita pepo to study adaptive evolution, identifying structural variants and showing parallel domestication and environmental adaptation.

This study constructs a watermelon super-pangenome from 138 genomes, identifies over a million structural variants, and develops genomic prediction models for 18 traits to advance precision breeding.

The paper constructs a cucumber pangenome to analyze structural variant dynamics during domestication and breeding, finding SVs are purged more than SNPs and improving genomic prediction accuracy.

QTLseqr is an R package for NGS-BSA that identifies QTL using QTL-seq and G methods, providing tools for SNP analysis and visualization.
