TL;DR: This consensus map represents the highest-density public microsatellite map of wheat and is accompanied by an allele database showing the parent allele sizes for every marker mapped, which enables users to predict allele sizes in new breeding populations and develop molecular breeding and genomics strategies.

TL;DR: The developed array and cluster identification algorithms provide an opportunity to infer detailed haplotype structure in polyploid wheat and will serve as an invaluable resource for diversity studies and investigating the genetic basis of trait variation in wheat.

TL;DR: Diagnostic sequencing indicated that a 280-kilobase region containing the maize Adh1-F and u22 genes is composed primarily of retrotransposons inserted within each other, and ten retroelement families were discovered.

TL;DR: The Functional Analysis Through Hidden Markov Models (FATHMM) software and server is described: a species‐independent method with optional species‐specific weightings for the prediction of the functional effects of protein missense variants, demonstrating that FATHMM can be efficiently applied to high‐throughput/large‐scale human and nonhuman genome sequencing projects with the added benefit of phenotypic outcome associations.

TL;DR: It is shown that the hexaploid genome is highly dynamic, with significant loss of gene family members on polyploidization and domestication, and an abundance of gene fragments.
