Cereal grasses of the Triticeae tribe have been the major food source in temperate regions
since the dawn of agriculture. Their large genomes are characterized by a high content of …

… A, B and D in these designations correspond to separate subgenomes derived from three
ancestral diploid species with similar but distinct genome structure and gene content that …

Plant–microbe interactions in the rhizosphere have important roles in biogeochemical cycling,
and maintenance of plant health and productivity, yet remain poorly understood. Using …

Advances in genome sequencing and assembly technologies are generating many high-quality
genome sequences, but assemblies of large, repeat-rich polyploid genomes, such as …

Background Attine ants live in an intensely studied tripartite mutualism with the fungus
Leucoagaricus gongylophorus, which provides food to the ants, and with antibiotic-producing …

Adaptive sampling is a method of software-controlled enrichment unique to nanopore
sequencing platforms. To test its potential for enrichment of rarer species within metagenomic …

Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is a cereal grass mainly used as animal fodder and raw
material for the malting industry. The map-based reference genome sequence of barley cv.‘Morex’…

Crop disease outbreaks are often associated with clonal expansions of single pathogenic
lineages. To determine whether similar boom-and-bust scenarios hold for wild pathosystems, …

The MinION sequencing platform offers near real-time analysis of DNA sequence; this
makes the tool attractive for deployment in fieldwork or clinical settings. We used the MinION …

… Dobzhansky first observed reduced crossing over near interchromosomal translocations in
D. melanogaster (Dobzhansky 1931), and this has been observed in other species (McKim et …
