Large-scale population genomic surveys are essential to explore the phenotypic diversity of
natural populations. Here we report the whole-genome sequencing and phenotyping of …

Roses have high cultural and economic importance as ornamental plants and in the perfume
industry. We report the rose whole-genome sequencing and assembly and resequencing …

Oaks are an important part of our natural and cultural heritage. Not only are they ubiquitous
in our most common landscapes 1 but they have also supplied human societies with …

Plant genomes are often characterized by a high level of repetitiveness and polyploid nature.
Consequently, creating genome assemblies for plant genomes is challenging. The …

Many linkage studies are performed in inbred populations, either small isolated populations
or large populations with a long tradition of marriages between relatives. In such populations…

The rolandic and sylvian fissures divide the human cerebral hemispheres and the adjacent
areas participate in speech processing. The relationship of rolandic (sylvian) seizure …

Background Long-read sequencing technologies were launched a few years ago, and in
contrast with short-read sequencing technologies, they offered a promise of solving assembly …

Long-read technologies hold the promise to obtain more complete genome assemblies and
to make them easier. Coupled with long-range technologies, they can reveal the …

A unique collection of oceanic samples was gathered by the Tara Oceans expeditions (2009–2013),
targeting plankton organisms ranging from viruses to metazoans, and providing rich …

Background: Oxford Nanopore Technologies Ltd (Oxford, UK) have recently commercialized
MinION, a small single-molecule nanopore sequencer, that offers the possibility of …
