A comprehensive evaluation of taxonomic classifiers in marine vertebrate eDNA studies

This study evaluates nine taxonomic classifiers for marine vertebrate eDNA studies, finding MMSeqs2 and Metabuli outperform BLAST in accuracy and reducing false positives.

Adaptive gene loss in the common bean pan-genome during range expansion and domestication

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

Not all pathways are the same - unique adaptations to submerged environments emerge from comparative seagrass genomics

This study compares genome adaptations in two seagrass species, revealing lineage-specific changes in pathways related to salinity, disease resistance, and photosynthesis.

Yield is negatively correlated with nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat gene content in soybean

This study finds a negative correlation between soybean yield and the number of nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) resistance genes.

Haplotype mapping uncovers unexplored variation in wild and domesticated soybean at the major protein locus cqProt-003

This study maps haplotype variation at the cqProt-003 locus in soybean, identifying structural variants and tandem repeats associated with high protein content and tracing their distribution across wild, landrace, and cultivated populations.

Genomic rearrangements have consequences for introgression breeding as revealed by genome assemblies of wild and cultivated lentil species

The paper develops genome assemblies of wild and cultivated lentil species to reveal structural rearrangements affecting introgression breeding.
