TL;DR: A strategy based on long reads (MinION or PromethION sequencers) and optical maps (Saphyr system) that can produce chromosome-level assemblies is described and demonstrated applicability by generating high-quality genome sequences for two new dicotyledon morphotypes.

TL;DR: The results strongly suggest the loss of one GBSSI duplicated copy (GBSSI-1) in the Fragariinae subtribe, and a new pattern summarizing the present knowledge on the Fragaria evolutionary history is proposed.

TL;DR: The results reveal that the polyploidization events that took place along the evolution of the Fragaria genus and the more recent juxtaposition of two octoploid strawberry genomes in the cultivated strawberry did not trigger any major chromosomal rearrangements in genomes involved in F. ×ananassa, and suggest the existence of a close relationship between the diploid Fragaria genomes.

TL;DR: This article shows that the chloroplastic acetyl-CoA carboxylase subunit (accD) gene has been functionally relocated to the nucleus in the Campanulaceae and the nuclear gene regulatory elements that enabled the erstwhile plastidic gene to become functional in the nuclear genome were identified.

TL;DR: An investigation into the evolutionary rate of coding and non-coding sequences among legume plastomes resulted in the identification of remarkably variable regions and the discovery of a novel, major 36-kb inversion, specific to the Genistoids.
