TL;DR: An accurate soybean genome sequence will facilitate the identification of the genetic basis of many soybean traits, and accelerate the creation of improved soybean varieties.

TL;DR: 2 independent domestications from genetic pools that diverged before human colonization are confirmed and a set of genes linked with increased leaf and seed size are identified and combined with quantitative trait locus data from Mesoamerican cultivars.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors sequenced 111 fragments from 102 genes in four soybean populations representing the populations before and after genetic bottlenecks and showed that soybean has lost many rare sequence variants and has undergone numerous allele frequency changes throughout its history.

TL;DR: It is shown that soybean has lost many rare sequence variants and has undergone numerous allele frequency changes throughout its history, and that the diversity lost through the genetic bottlenecks of introduction and plant breeding was mostly due to the small number of Asian introductions and not the artificial selection subsequently imposed by selective breeding.

TL;DR: This research indicated that GWAS not only identified most of the previously reported QTL controlling seed protein and oil, but also resulted in narrower genomic regions than the regions reported as containing these QTL.
