Pan-genome analysis of different morphotypes reveals genomic basis of Brassica oleracea domestication and differential organogenesis

This study constructs a pan-genome of Brassica oleracea to uncover genomic basis of domestication and organogenesis differences among morphotypes.

Plant selection and ecological microhabitat drive domestications of shrub-associated microbiomes in a revegetated shrub ecosystem

This study examines how plant selection and ecological microhabitats influence the microbiomes of revegetated shrubs, finding that microhabitats, not plant species, primarily drive microbial community composition.

Lipoprotein sorting to the cell surface via a crosstalk between the Lpt and Lol pathways during outer membrane biogenesis

The paper identifies lipoproteins transported to the cell surface via LptDE and reveals a crosstalk between Lpt and Lol pathways in Gram-negative bacteria.

Pangenome-based dynamic trajectories of intracellular gene transfers in Poaceae unveil a high rate of unceasing integration and selective retention in Triticeae

This study maps the dynamic trajectories of intracellular gene transfers in Poaceae using a novel tool, revealing lineage-specific patterns and functional roles of nuclear organelle genes.

Natural selections on both amino acid sequences and expression levels are determinants of ohnolog retention

This study shows that natural selection on both amino acid sequences and expression levels determines ohnolog retention, providing a unified framework for understanding this evolutionary phenomenon.

Genome sequencing sheds light on the contribution of structural variants to Brassica oleracea diversification

This study identifies structural variants in Brassica oleracea genomes that contribute to morphological divergence between cauliflower and cabbage.
