Vinson, Jade P., Jaffe, David B., O'Neill, Keith, Karlsson, Elinor K., Stange-Thomann, Nicole, Anderson, Scott, ...
Whole-genome assembly is now used routinely to obtain high-quality draft sequence for the genomes of species with low levels of polymorphism. However, genome assembly remains extremely challenging...
Structure and Architecture of the Maize Genome1[W]
Haberer, Georg, Young, Sarah, Bharti, Arvind K., Gundlach, Heidrun, Raymond, Christina, Fuks, Galina, ...
Maize (Zea mays or corn) plays many varied and important roles in society. It is not only an important experimental model plant, but also a major livestock feed crop and a significant source of...
