An Algorithm to Build a Multi-genome Reference

TL;DR: The MGR method is developed, which allows simultaneous comparison against multiple high-quality reference genomes, in order to remove the bias that comes from using only a single-genome reference and to simplify downstream analyses.

Non-linear phenotypic variation uncovers the emergence of heterosis in Arabidopsis thaliana

TL;DR: This study evaluated a model of physiological dominance proposed by Sewall Wright to explain the non-additive inheritance of metabolic fluxes at the cellular level and suggested that the emergence of heterosis is an intrinsic property of non-linear relationships between traits.

Drought selection on Arabidopsis populations and their microbiomes

TL;DR: The reproducible and predictable associations between specific microbes and water availability raise the possibility that drought not only directly shapes genetic variation in A. thaliana, but does so also indirectly through its effects on the leaf microbiome.

Finding genetic variants in plants without complete genomes

TL;DR: The power of performing genome-wide association studies before linking sequence reads to specific genomic regions, which allow detection of a wider range of genetic variants responsible for phenotypic variation, is demonstrated.
