TL;DR: Genomic signatures of selection and domestication are associated with positively selected genes (PSGs) for fiber improvement in the A subgenome and for stress tolerance in the D subgenomes, suggesting asymmetric evolution.

TL;DR: Intergenomic comparisons identified lineage-specific genes and genes with copy number variation or large-effect mutations, some of which show evidence of positive selection and may contribute to variation of agronomic traits such as biotic resistance, seed composition, flowering and maturity time, organ size and final biomass.

TL;DR: Analysis of the genome of a male golden snub-nosed monkey and demographic reconstructions indicated that the profile of ancient effective population sizes for R. roxellana more closely resembles that of giant panda rather than its congeners.

TL;DR: A chromosome-scale, high-quality reference genome of Aegilops tauschii, the donor of the wheat D genome, is generated, which accurately characterized genic loci, gene expression, pseudogenes, methylation, recombination ratios, microRNAs and especially TEs on chromosomes.

TL;DR: Gen expression bias across surveyed tissues such that subgenome B is more dominant in homoeologous expression is found, and CG methylation in promoter regions may play an important role in altering gene expression in allotetraploid C. carpio.
