This study identifies adaptive gene loss in common bean populations during range expansion and domestication, showing gene loss as a key adaptive trait.

This study uses chloroplast and nuclear genomes to trace the evolutionary history of common beans, supporting a Mesoamerican origin and rejecting a new species classification.

This paper uses CRISPR/Cas9 to deplete repetitive DNA in lentil genomes, improving genotyping accuracy and efficiency by focusing sequencing on single-copy regions.

The paper traces the evolutionary history of European common beans, showing Andean origins and adaptive introgression shaping their genomic diversity.
