Current CRISPR guide RNAs are designed based on European reference genomes, leading to false-negative results in cells from ...

Wild plants can contribute valuable genes to their domesticated relatives. Fertility barriers and a lack of genomic resources ...

What is pan-genome? A pan-genome is the sum of all genomic information within a species. With the development of genomic technology, researchers have found that a single reference genome can no longer ...

Picture juicy red tomatoes on the vine. What do you see? Some tomato varieties have straight vines. Others are branched. The ...

This pan-genome includes all of the genes from 725 different cultivated and closely related wild tomatoes, which revealed 4,873 genes that were absent from the original reference genome.

In the temperate forests of the Northern Hemisphere, a quiet but powerful story has been unfolding for nearly 60 million years. It’s a story written in the DNA of a fruit so familiar that its history ...

The pan-genome will be used by the consortium members, and following scientific publication, will be available to the entire canola breeding and research community to accelerate the genetic ...

When one reference genome is not enough Date: December 20, 2017 Source: DOE/Joint Genome Institute Summary: Having plant pan-genomes for crops that are important for fuel and food applications ...

When the Human Genome Project launched in 1990, it was hailed as one of the greatest scientific endeavors of all time. The 13-year project identified about 20,000 genes and gave researchers a ...

A team of international researchers has published the first comprehensive comparative pan-genome analysis of lactic acid bacteria (LAB), a family of microorganisms essential to natural ecosystems and ...
