TL;DR: An integrated and ordered physical, genetic and functional sequence resource that describes the barley gene-space in a structured whole-genome context and suggests that post-transcriptional processing forms an important regulatory layer.

TL;DR: A proteome-based phylogeny shows that the amoebozoa diverged from the animal–fungal lineage after the plant–animal split, but Dictyostelium seems to have retained more of the diversity of the ancestral genome than have plants, animals or fungi.

TL;DR: The importance of the barley reference sequence for breeding is demonstrated by inspecting the genomic partitioning of sequence variation in modern elite germplasm, highlighting regions vulnerable to genetic erosion.

TL;DR: The killifish Nothobranchius furzeri is the shortest-lived vertebrate that can be bred in the laboratory and an intra-species Y chromosome polymorphism representing-in real time-different stages of sex chromosome formation that display features of early mammalian XY evolution "in action" is uncovered.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that synteny-based analysis of low-pass shotgun sequenced flow-sorted Triticeae chromosomes can deliver linearly ordered high-resolution gene inventories of individual chromosomes, which complement extensive TritICEae expressed sequence tag datasets.
