TL;DR: The draft genome of the black cottonwood tree, Populus trichocarpa, has been reported in this paper, with more than 45,000 putative protein-coding genes identified.

TL;DR: Characterization of genomic differentiation in a classic example of hybridization between all-black carrion crows and gray-coated hooded crows identified genome-wide introgression extending far beyond the morphological hybrid zone, indicating localized genomic selection can cause marked heterogeneity in introgressive landscapes while maintaining phenotypic divergence.

TL;DR: The H-InvDB as discussed by the authors is a database of 41,118 full-length cDNAs that capture the gene transcripts as complete functional cassettes, providing an unequivocal report of structural and functional diversity at the gene level.

TL;DR: The coding content of Populus and Arabidopsis genomes shows very high similarity, indicating that differences between these annual and perennial angiosperm life forms result primarily from differences in gene regulation.

TL;DR: Data demonstrated that mutations in two genes, IRF6 and GRHL3, can lead to nearly identical phenotypes of orofacial cleft and supported the hypotheses that both genes are essential for the presence of a functional oral periderm and that failure of this process contributes to VWS.
