Analysis of Brachypodium genomes with genome-wide optical maps
Brachypodium distachyon (n = 5) is a diploid and has been widely used as a genetic model. Brachypodium stacei (n = 10) and B. hybridum (n = 15) are species that are related to B. distachyon, leading to an hypothesis that they are part of a polyploid series based on x = 5. Several lines of evidence suggest that this hypothesis is incorrect and that the

nanotatoR: a tool for enhanced annotation of genomic structural variants
Background Whole genome sequencing is effective at identification of small variants, but because it is based on short reads, assessment of structural variants (SVs) is limited. The advent of Optical Genome Mapping (OGM), which utilizes long fluorescently

Optical mapping of the Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. melongenae genome [PDF]
Abstract Optical mapping approaches are widely preferred and applied in different branches of genomic studies because of their accuracy, low cost, and high efficiency. In the current study, a sequence orientation of the Fusarium oxysporum f.

Are we there yet? : reliably estimating the completeness of plant genome sequences [PDF]
Genome sequencing is becoming cheaper and faster thanks to the introduction of next-generation sequencing techniques. Dozens of new plant genome sequences have been released in recent years, ranging from small to gigantic repeat-rich or polyploid genomes.

Recombining your way out of trouble: the genetic architecture of hybrid fitness under environmental stress [PDF]
Hybridization between species is a fundamental evolutionary force that can both promote and delay adaptation. There is a deficit in our understanding of the genetic basis of hybrid fitness, especially in non-domesticated organisms.
