Recurrent evolution of cryptic triploids in cultivated enset increases yield
Enset is a staple crop for over 20 million people in southwestern Ethiopia. We generated a new chromosome-level genome assembly, and sequenced 65 wild and 658 cultivated individuals. We unexpectedly f...

Claire Merot opens the afternoon session at the #biodiversity25 with a presentation about the structural genetic diversity across the tree of life. Structural variants (SVs) are in order de magnitude higher than SNPs. TEs accounts for many SVs. SVs are different across different lineages.

Version 5.1.1 of the PR2 database has been released.
The major novelty is the inclusion of the recently published eKOI database (coi gene- doi.org/10.1093/data...) in the web interface. The 18S rRNA database is not changed so you can use 5.1.0 or 5.1.1 for metabarcode annotations
