A survey of genetic improvement search spaces [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Genetic Improvement (GI) uses automated search to improve existing software. Most GI work has focused on empirical studies that successfully apply GI to improve software's running time, fix bugs, add new features, etc. There has been little research into

Integrative analysis of reference epigenomes in 20 rice varieties

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
Comprehensive epigenomic maps of various rice varieties are still unavailable. Here, the authors report the development of eChIP as a fast and low-input upgrade of regular plant ChIP-seq protocol for epigenome analysis of 20 rice varieties and annotate ...

Three types of genes underlying the Gametophyte factor1 locus cause unilateral cross incompatibility in maize

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
Unilateral cross incompatibility (UCI) is a type of prezygotic reproductive isolation, which is associated with multiple loci in maize. Here, the authors use genetic analysis to separate the Ga1 locus into two functional components and identify seven ...

Cotton pan-genome retrieves the lost sequences and genes during domestication and selection

open access: yesGenome Biology, 2021
Background Millennia of directional human selection has reshaped the genomic architecture of cultivated cotton relative to wild counterparts, but we have limited understanding of the selective retention and fractionation of genomic components. Results We

Gin: Genetic Improvement Research Made Easy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Genetic improvement (GI) is a young field of research on the cusp of transforming software development. GI uses search to improve existing software. Researchers have already shown that GI can improve human-written code, ranging from program repair to ...

Physiological changes and transcriptome profiling in Saccharum spontaneum L. leaf under water stress and re-watering conditions

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
As the polyploidy progenitor of modern sugarcane, Saccharum spontaneum is considered to be a valuable resistance source to various biotic and abiotic stresses. However, little has been reported on the mechanism of drought tolerance in S.

Profitability of a dairy sheep genetic improvement program using artificial insemination [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
This simulation study investigated the farm-level economic benefits of a genetic improvement scheme using artificial insemination (AI) with fresh ram semen in dairy sheep of the Chios breed in Greece. Data were collected from 67 farms associated with the

Unravelling the genetics of non-random fertilization associated with gametic incompatibility

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
In the dairy industry, mate allocation is dependent on the producer’s breeding goals and the parents’ breeding values. The probability of pregnancy differs among sire-dam combinations, and the compatibility of a pair may vary due to the combination of ...

Contributions of Zea mays subspecies mexicana haplotypes to modern maize

open access: yesNature Communications, 2017
Maize was domesticated from wild lowland progenitors that co-existed with upland subspecies in Southwestern Mexico. Here Yang et al. use a meta-assembly approach to assemble an upland mexicana genome and find evidence of introgression suggesting it ...
