TL;DR: The Coffea canephora (coffee) genome was sequenced and identified a conserved gene order, and comparative analyses of caffeine NMTs demonstrate that these genes expanded through sequential tandem duplications independently of genes from cacao and tea, suggesting that caffeine in eudicots is of polyphyletic origin.

TL;DR: The algorithm solves the comparison of genomes with 18,300 genes, including 4500 missing from one genome, in less than a minute on a MacBook, putting virtually all genomes within range of the method.

TL;DR: The TIGUKAT objectbase management system, which is under development at the Laboratory for Database Systems Research at the University of Alberta, has a novel object model, whose identifying characteristics include a purely behavioral semantics and a uniform approach to objects.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report on findings from whole genome sequence (WGS) of both simplex and multiplex families from the Simons Simplex Collection (SSC) and the Autism Genetic Resource Exchange (AGRE) and find that the contribution of de novo mutation in multiplex is significantly smaller than the contribution in simplex.

TL;DR: This work proposes to use the contigs directly in the rearrangement algorithms as if they were chromosomes, while making a number of corrections, e.g., the authors correct for the number of extra fusion/fission operations required to make contigs comparable to full assemblies.
