Crop domestications are long-term selection experiments that have greatly advanced human civilization. The domestication of cultivated rice (Oryza sativa L.) ranks as one the most important developments in history. However, its origins and processes controversial long been debated. Here we generate genome sequences from 446 geographically diverse accessions wild species Oryza rufipogon, immediate ancestral progenitor rice, 1,083 indica japonica varieties to construct a comprehensive map...
The next-generation sequencing technology coupled with the growing number of genome sequences opens opportunity to redesign genotyping strategies for more effective genetic mapping and analysis. We have developed a high-throughput method recombinant populations utilizing whole-genome resequencing data generated by Illumina Genome Analyzer.

The rich genetic diversity in Oryza sativa and rufipogon serves as the main sources rice breeding. Large-scale resequencing has been undertaken to discover allelic variants rice, but much of information for variation is often lost by direct mapping short sequence reads onto O. japonica Nipponbare reference genome. Here we constructed a pan-genome dataset sativa-O. species complex through deep sequencing de novo assembly 66 divergent accessions. Intergenomic comparisons identified 23 million...
Bin Han and colleagues report the draft genome of moso bamboo, an important non-timber forest product. RNA sequencing analysis bamboo flowering tissues suggests a connection between drought-responsive genes potential genes.

Various stable circular RNAs (circRNAs) are newly identified to be the abundance of noncoding in Archaea, Caenorhabditis elegans , mice, and humans through high-throughput deep sequencing coupled with analysis massive transcriptional data. CircRNAs play important roles miRNA function controlling by acting as competing endogenous or positive regulators on their parent coding genes. However, little is known regarding circRNAs plants. Here, we report 2354 rice that were computational ssRNA-seq...
Abstract Exploitation of heterosis is one the most important applications genetics in agriculture. However, genetic mechanisms are only partly understood, and a global view from representative number hybrid combinations lacking. Here we develop an integrated genomic approach to construct genome map for 1,495 elite rice varieties their inbred parental lines. We investigate 38 agronomic traits identify 130 associated loci. In-depth analyses effects heterozygous genotypes reveal that there few...
Expression, genetic variation, and tissues Human genomes show extensive variation across individuals, but we have only just started documenting the effects of this on regulation gene expression. Furthermore, a few been examined per variant. In order to examine how expression varies among within Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) Consortium collected 1641 postmortem samples covering 54 body sites from 175 individuals. They identified quantitative traits that affect determined which these...
Cotton has been cultivated and used to make fabrics for at least 7000 years. Two allotetraploid species of great commercial importance, Gossypium hirsutum barbadense, were domesticated after polyploidization are worldwide. Although the overall genetic diversity between these two studied with limited accessions, their population structure variations remain largely unknown. We resequence genomes 147 cotton including diverse wild relatives, landraces, modern cultivars, construct a comprehensive...
Abstract Non-random gene organization in eukaryotes plays a significant role genome evolution. Here, we investigate the origin of biosynthetic cluster for production defence compounds oat—the avenacin cluster. We elucidate structure and organisation this 12-gene cluster, characterise last two missing pathway steps, reconstitute entire tobacco by transient expression. show that has formed de novo since divergence oats subtelomeric region lacks homology with other grasses, order is...
Abstract Exploitation of crop heterosis is crucial for increasing global agriculture production. However, the quantitative genomic analysis was lacking, and there currently no effective prediction tool to optimize cross-combinations. Here 2,839 rice hybrid cultivars 9,839 segregation individuals were resequenced phenotyped. Our findings demonstrated that indica – hybrid-improving breeding a process broadened genetic resources, pyramided breeding-favorable alleles through combinatorial...
THP-1 monocyte, which can be differentiated into macrophages by PMA, is widely used in researches on pathogen infection and host innate immunity, but reports the induction methods of PMA are different lack a unified standard, transcriptome characteristics macrophage compared with cells remains unclear. In this research, we examined differentiation effect three factors including time, cell seeding density concentration detecting positive rate CD14 expression. The 80ng/ml time 24h, 5×10 5...
Abstract The genome’s dynamic nature, exemplified by elements like extrachromosomal circular DNA (eccDNA), is crucial for biodiversity and adaptation. Yet, the role of eccDNA in plants, particularly rice, remains underexplored. Here, we identify 25,598 eccDNAs, unveiling widespread presence across six rice tissues revealing its formation as a universal random process. Interestingly, discover that direct repeats play pivotal formation, pointing to unique origin mechanism. Despite eccDNA’s...
Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) is recognized as a rare congenital heart defect (CHD). With high mortality rate of approximately 80%, the survival and outcomes TAPVC patients are not satisfactory. However, genetic aetiology mechanism remain elusive. This study aimed to investigate underlying genomic risks through next-generation sequencing (NGS).Rare variants were identified whole exome (WES) 78 sporadic cases 100 healthy controls using Fisher's exact test gene-based...
