TL;DR: Insights into the history of the species and the fine-scale distribution of genetic diversity provide the basis for full exploitation of A. thaliana natural variation through integration of genomes and epigenomes with molecular and non-molecular phenotypes.

TL;DR: Comparison to cistrome and epicistrome datasets identifies associations between transcription factor binding sites, methylation, nucleotide variation, and co-expression modules in the 1001 Genomes collection of Arabidopsis thaliana.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that even when the purpose is to understand complex structural variation at a single region of the genome, complete genome assembly is becoming the simplest way to achieve this goal.

TL;DR: This study defines a nearly complete species-wide pan-NLRome in Arabidopsis thaliana based on sequence enrichment and long-read sequencing, and charts NLR architectural diversity, identify new architectures, and quantify selective forces that act on specific NLRs and NLR domains.

TL;DR: In dogs, the results show that dogs carry two populations, possibly different species of Strongyloides, which argues for the strong potential of dogs as reservoirs for zoonotic transmission of S. stercoralis to humans and suggests that in order to reduce the exposure of humans to infective S.Stercorais larvae, dogs should be treated for the infection along with their owners.
