We report an improved draft nucleotide sequence of the 2.3-gigabase genome of maize, an
important crop plant and model for biological research. Over 32,000 genes were predicted, …

Comparative analysis of multiple genomes in a phylogenetic framework dramatically improves
the precision and sensitivity of evolutionary inference, producing more robust results than …

Recent evidence suggests that the microbial community in the human intestine may play an
important role in the pathogenesis of obesity. We examined 184,094 sequences of microbial …

Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is the most important grain legume for human consumption
and has a role in sustainable agriculture owing to its ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen…

… with a GJ sample, the D-value will be positive and close to the D-values of GJ samples. For
… D-value was negative and less than the lower bound of the 99% confidence interval for the D-…

A map of the barley genome consisting of 295 loci was constructed. These loci include 152
cDNA restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP), 114 genomic DNA RFLP, 14 random …

Eucalypts are the world’s most widely planted hardwood trees. Their outstanding diversity,
adaptability and growth have made them a global renewable resource of fibre and energy. …

We sequenced and assembled the draft genome of Theobroma cacao, an economically
important tropical-fruit tree crop that is the source of chocolate. This assembly corresponds to 76…

Diversity Arrays Technology (DArT) can detect and type DNA variation at several hundred
genomic loci in parallel without relying on sequence information. Here we show that it can be …

… pairs using the PROmer program (optional parameters – d 0.5 –c 200), alignments were …
We thank D. Stevenson for discussions. We appreciate the constant support of YM Choo, …
