Understanding soybean (Glycine max) domestication and improvement at a genetic level is important to inform future efforts further improve crop that provides the world's main source of oilseed. We detect 230 selective sweeps 162 selected copy number variants by analysis 302 resequenced wild, landrace improved accessions >11× depth. A genome-wide association study using these new sequences reveals associations between 10 regions 9 or traits, identifies 13 previously uncharacterized loci for...
An instrument for whole-genome optical mapping is used to assemble the genome of domestic goat into super-long scaffolds. We report ∼2.66-Gb sequence a female Yunnan black goat. The was obtained by combining short-read sequencing data and from high-throughput instrument. facilitated assembly super-scaffolds >5× longer N50 metric than scaffolds augmented fosmid end (scaffold = 3.06 Mb, super-scaffold 16.3 Mb). Super-scaffolds are anchored on chromosomes based conserved synteny with cattle,...
Sheep (Ovis aries) are a major source of meat, milk, and fiber in the form wool represent distinct class animals that have specialized digestive organ, rumen, carries out initial digestion plant material. We developed analyzed high-quality reference sheep genome transcriptomes from 40 different tissues. identified highly expressed genes encoding keratin cross-linking proteins associated with rumen evolution. also involved lipid metabolism had been amplified and/or altered tissue expression...
The success of Genome Wide Association Studies in the discovery sequence variation linked to complex traits humans has increased interest high throughput SNP genotyping assays livestock species. Primary goals are QTL detection and genomic selection. purpose here was design a 50–60,000 chip for goats. moderate density assay depends on reliable bioinformatic procedures, technological rate design, even spacing SNPs genome selection Minor Allele Frequencies (MAF) suitable use diverse breeds....
Much like other indigenous domesticated animals, Tibetan chickens living at high altitudes (2,200–4,100 m) show specific physiological adaptations to the extreme environmental conditions of Plateau, but genetic bases these are not well characterized. Here, we assembled a de novo genome chicken and resequenced whole genomes 32 additional chickens, including village game fowl, Red Junglefowl, found that could broadly be placed into two groups. Further analyses revealed several candidate genes...
Abstract Butterflies are exceptionally diverse but their potential as an experimental system has been limited by the difficulty of deciphering heterozygous genomes and a lack genetic manipulation technology. Here we use hybrid assembly approach to construct high-quality reference for Papilio xuthus (contig scaffold N50: 492 kb, 3.4 Mb) machaon 81 1.15 Mb), highly species that differ in host plant affiliations, adult larval colour patterns. Integrating comparative genomics analyses gene...
Abstract Chirita D. Don, a large genus in the subfamily Cyrtandroideae of Gesneriaceae, has been subject much debate whether it is natural group or not. In addition, highly heterogeneous also very problematic with regard to delimitation and subdivision. Here we used nrDNA internal transcribed spacer cpDNA trnL-F for molecular phylogenetic analaysis, combined morphological data. Our results suggest that an artificial, polyphyletic genus. The most important character defines Chirita,...
Domestic goats (Capra hircus) have been selected to play an essential role in agricultural production systems, since being domesticated from their wild progenitor, bezoar aegagrus). A detailed understanding of the genetic consequences imparted by domestication process remains a key goal evolutionary genomics. We constructed reference genome and sequenced representative breeds domestic search for genomic changes that likely accompanied goat breed formation. Thirteen copy number variation...
Abstract Abundant and diverse domestic mammals living on the Tibetan Plateau provide useful materials for investigating adaptive evolution genetic convergence. Here, we used 327 genomes from horses, sheep, goats, cattle, pigs dogs at both high low altitudes, including 73 generated this study, to disentangle mechanisms underlying local adaptation of mammals. Although molecular convergence is comparatively rare DNA sequence level, found convergent signature positive selection gene particularly...
ABSTRACT mRNA methylation at the N6-position of adenosine (m6A) enables multiple layers post-transcriptional gene control, often via RNA-binding proteins that use a YT521-B homology (YTH) domain for specific m6A recognition. In Arabidopsis, normal leaf morphogenesis and rate formation require YTH-domain ECT2, ECT3 ECT4. this study, we show ect2/ect3 ect2/ect3/ect4 mutants also exhibit slow root stem growth, flower formation, defective directionality aberrant fruit morphology. all cases,...
Canalized rivers are often the product of urbanization. They an important component urban blue-green infrastructure whose visual landscape quality affects aesthetics a city. Existing research on waterways pays little attention to canalized and lacks quantitative interpretation their quality. This study aims simulate human perception establish quantifiable features for riverside greenways. Using deep learning model build connections between aesthetic preference spaces, we best predictive We...
Abstract Broomcorn millet ( Panicum miliaceum L.) is an orphan crop with the potential to improve cereal production and quality, ensure food security. Here we present genetic variations, population structure diversity of a diverse worldwide collection 516 broomcorn genomes. Population analysis indicated that domesticated originated from its wild progenitor in China. We then constructed graph-based pangenome based on long-read de novo genome assemblies 32 representative accessions. Our...
Chinese cherry (
Nicotiana tabacum is an allotetraploid hybrid of sylvestris and tomentosiformis a model organism in genetics. However, features subgenome evolution, expression coordination, genetic diversity complex traits regulation N. remain unresolved. Here we present chromosome-scale assemblies for all three species, genotype phenotypic data 5,196 germplasms. Chromosome rearrangements epigenetic modifications are associated with genome evolution coordination following polyploidization. Two subgenomes...
Members of the CYCLOIDEA2 (CYC2) clade TEOSINTE BRANCHED1, CYCLOIDEA, and PCF transcription factor genes are widely involved in controlling floral zygomorphy, a key innovation angiosperm evolution, depending on their persistently asymmetric expression corresponding domains. However, it is unclear how this maintained throughout development. Selecting Primulina heterotricha as model, we examined function two CYC2 genes, CYC1C CYC1D. We analyzed role promoters protein-DNA interactions...
The drumstick tree (Moringa oleifera Lam.) is a perennial crop that has gained popularity in certain developing countries for its high-nutrition content and adaptability to arid semi-arid environments. Here we report high-quality draft genome sequence of M. oleifera. This assembly represents 91.78% the estimated size contains 19,465 protein-coding genes. Comparative genomic analysis between related woody plant genomes helps clarify general evolution this species, while identification several...
