A centromere’s obsession with transposons
Transposable elements frequently invade centromeres, yet their influence on centromere function has long been enigmatic. A new study reveals that epigenetic silencing of centromeric transposable elements is essential for chromosome cohesion and proper segregation during cell division.

A near‐gapless genome assembly of Pseudocydonia sinensis uncovers unique phenylpropanoid pathways
Summary Pseudocydonia sinensis, commonly known as Chinese quince, belongs to the Rosaceae family and is closely related to apple and pear. Despite its botanical significance, genomic resources for this species remain limited. We present a high‐quality, chromosome‐scale, and haplotype‐resolved genome assembly of P.
