A pangenome and pantranscriptome of hexaploid oat - Nature
A pangenome of oat, assembled from 33 wild and domesticated oat lines, sheds light on the evolution and genetic diversity of this cereal crop and will aid genomics-assisted breeding to improve productivity and sustainability.

IBERS scientists helped crack the oat genome! 🌾

33 genomes sequenced, 9,000+ mapped, and the first oat pan-transcriptome released. A major step toward healthier, climate-resilient oats.

An international research team led by the @leibnizipk.bsky.social has succeeded in creating a
pangenome of oats. In a further study, another research team investigated the origin of oats.
