The genome of soybean (Glycine max), a commercially important crop, has recently been
sequenced and is one of six crop species to have been sequenced. Here we report the …

Asia harbors substantial cultural and linguistic diversity, but the geographic structure of genetic
variation across the continent remains enigmatic. Here we report a large-scale survey of …

The bowhead whale (Balaena mysticetus) is estimated to live over 200 years and is
possibly the longest-living mammal. These animals should possess protective molecular …

We present the first Korean individual genome sequence (SJK) and analysis results. The
diploid genome of a Korean male was sequenced to 28.95-fold redundancy using the Illumina …

Despite half a century of research, the biology of dinoflagellates remains enigmatic: they
defy many functional and genetic traits attributed to typical eukaryotic cells. Genomic …

Tigers and their close relatives (Panthera) are some of the world’s most endangered species.
Here we report the de novo assembly of an Amur tiger whole-genome sequence as well as …

The shift from terrestrial to aquatic life by whales was a substantial evolutionary event. Here
we report the whole-genome sequencing and de novo assembly of the minke whale genome…

Characterizing genetic diversity in Africa is a crucial step for most analyses reconstructing
the evolutionary history of anatomically modern humans. However, historic migrations from …

Strong evidence exists for polyploidy having occurred during the evolution of the tribe
Brassiceae. We show evidence for the dynamic and ongoing diploidization process by …

Rapid advances in DNA sequencing promise to enable new diagnostics and individualized
therapies. Achieving personalized medicine, however, will require extensive research on …
