Anthropogenic disturbance can drive hybridization by altering pre-mating reproductive barriers. Moran et al. pair population genomic surveys with water chemistry and GIS data to show that human develo...

Newly developed methods enable construction of Icelandic haplotypes and mapping of population-scale short reads to a pangenome by reducing reference bias and improving discovery in low-mappability reg...

Female restitution in interspecific sugarcane hybrids between Saccharum officinarum and Saccharum spontaneum arises from second division restitution, as haplotype-resolved F1 genomes reveal duplicated, partially recombined maternal chromatids and distinctive recombination signatures, resolving its meiotic mechanism and enabling breeding strategies to accelerate crop improvement.

Sympatric species often exhibit permeable reproductive barriers, yet many of them coexist as phenotypically distinct entities. One way to account for this apparent paradox is that selection on loci th...

Complex, multicellular extremophiles face intense challenges in coordinating their cells, tissues, and organs to function in harsh environments. Tidestromia oblongifolia is a desert plant that thrives...

In avocado and certain wild relatives in Lauraceae, a highly synchronized daily rhythm of floral sex timing promotes cross-pollination between two ...

Understanding how natural genetic variants affect protein structure and function is central to plant biology. The 1001 Genomes Project has catalogued millions of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)...

In Metazoa, transposon expression is suppressed by the piRNA pathway, and disruption of this pathway leads to rampant transposon expression. However, it remains unclear whether increased transposon ex...

Dosage compensation and meiotic sex chromosome inactivation (MSCI) are key mechanisms regulating gene expression from the X chromosome in male-hete...

Genomic data from snow carps reveal that the fusion of chromosomes initiates rediploidization following whole-genome duplication.

Abstract. Meiotic drivers are selfish genetic elements that gain transmission advantages by distorting equal, Mendelian segregation. For decades, biologist
