A world of opportunities with nanopore sequencing
Oxford Nanopore Technologies' MinION sequencer was launched in pre-release form in 2014 and represents an exciting new sequencing paradigm. The device offers multi-kilobase... -
Opening options for material transfer
The Open Material Transfer Agreement is a material-transfer agreement that enables broader sharing and use of biological materials by biotechnology practitioners working within... -
Adaptation and conservation insights from the koala genome
The koala, the only extant species of the marsupial family Phascolarctidae, is classified as ‘vulnerable’ due to habitat loss and widespread disease. We sequenced the koala... -
Exploiting the ZIP4 homologue within the wheat Ph1 locus has identified two l...
Despite possessing related ancestral genomes, hexaploid wheat behaves as a diploid during meiosis. The wheat Ph1 locus promotes accurate synapsis and crossover of homologous... -
A chromosome conformation capture ordered sequence of the barley genome
The International Barley Genome Sequencing Consortium reports sequencing and assembly of a reference genome for barley, Hordeum vulgare. -
Heterarchy of transcription factors driving basal and luminal cell phenotypes...

Genomics of habitat choice and adaptive evolution in a deep-sea fish
Intraspecific diversity promotes evolutionary change, and when partitioned among geographic regions or habitats can form the basis for speciation. Marine species live in an... -
New approaches for assembly of short-read metagenomic data
In recent years, the use of longer-range read data combined with advances in assembly algorithms has stimulated big improvements in the contiguity and quality of genome... -
Sixteen diverse laboratory mouse reference genomes define strain-specific hap...
We report full-length draft de novo genome assemblies for 16 widely used inbred mouse strains and find extensive strain-specific haplotype variation. We identify and... -
The ash dieback invasion of Europe was founded by two genetically divergent i...
Accelerating international trade and climate change make pathogen spread an increasing concern. Hymenoscyphus fraxineus, the causal agent of ash dieback, is a fungal pathogen...
