Abstract
In recent years, rapid advancement has been done in generation of genomic resources for the important legume crop chickpea. Here, we provide an update on important advancements made on availability of genomic resources for this crop. The availability of reference genome and transcriptome sequences, and resequencing of several accessions have enabled the discovery of gene space and molecular markers in chickpea. These resources have helped in elucidating evolutionary relationship and identification of quantitative trait loci for important agronomic traits. Gene expression in different tissues/organs during development and under abiotic/biotic stresses has been interrogated. In addition, single-base resolution DNA methylation patterns in different organs have been analyzed to understand gene regulation. Overall, we provide a consolidated overview of available genomic resources of chickpea that may help in fulfilling the promises for improvement of this important crop.

Draft genome sequence of chickpea ( Cicer arietinum ) provides a resource for trait improvement

TL;DR: This work reports the ∼738-Mb draft whole genome shotgun sequence of CDC Frontier, a kabuli chickpea variety, which contains an estimated 28,269 genes, and identifies targets of both breeding-associated genetic sweeps and breeding- associated balancing selection.

Repeated, Long-Distance Migrations by a Philopatric Predator Targeting Highly Contrasting Ecosystems

TL;DR: The predictable migratory patterns and use of highly divergent ecosystems shown by male tiger sharks appear broadly similar to migrations seen in birds, reptiles and mammals, and highlight opportunities for dynamic spatial management and conservation measures of highly mobile sharks.

De Novo assembly of chickpea transcriptome using short reads for gene discovery and marker identification

TL;DR: The chickpea transcripts set generated here provides a resource for gene discovery and development of functional molecular markers and the strategy for de novo assembly of transcriptome data presented here will be helpful in other similar transcriptome studies.
