This paper introduces AGR, a pipeline to infer paleogenomes from modern species by using inter-species chromosomal synteny and hierarchical clustering.

The paper investigates the relationship between DNA methylation and gene expression in natural and synthetic hexaploid wheat, finding weak associations and no clear regulatory role for 5' end methylation.

The paper examines transcriptomic responses in synthetic allohexaploid wheat and finds minimal gene expression changes, primarily on the D subgenome, with no significant TE-gene associations.

The paper critiques a reanalysis of rice domestication that supports a single origin hypothesis, arguing it misinterprets paraphyletic phylogenetic trees as monophyletic and addresses only part of the original evidence for multiple origins.

The paper analyzes chloroplast genome diversity in 1,800 wild and cultivated rice accessions, revealing distinct domestication histories for aus and aromatic rice groups.
