The Chinese pine genome and methylome unveil key features of conifer evolution

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper presented a 25.4-Gb chromosome-level assembly of Chinese pine (Pinus tabuliformis) and revealed that its genome size is mostly attributable to huge intergenic regions and long introns with high transposable element (TE) content.

Genome evolution and diversity of wild and cultivated potatoes

TL;DR: In this article , the authors examined the genome evolution and diversity of wild and cultivated landrace potatoes and found that the potato genome substantially expanded its repertoire of disease-resistance genes when compared with closely related seed-propagated solanaceous crops.

Rethinking fish biology and biotechnologies in the challenge era for burgeoning genome resources and strengthening food security

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a blueprint for genetic improvement and new breed creation for aquaculture species and analyze the potential of these new breeding strategies for improving aquaulture seed industry and strengthening food security.
