TL;DR: There are 481 segments longer than 200 base pairs that are absolutely conserved between orthologous regions of the human, rat, and mouse genomes, which represent a class of genetic elements whose functions and evolutionary origins are yet to be determined, but which are more highly conserving between these species than are proteins.

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: It is shown that selection likely acts on distinct targets or multiple functionally equivalent alleles in different portions of the geographic range of wheat, suggesting either weak selection pressure or temporal variation in the targets of directional selection during breeding probably associated with changing agricultural practices or environmental conditions.

TL;DR: These tiny RNAs with a modal length of 18 nt that map within −60 to +120 nt of transcription start sites (TSSs) in human, chicken and Drosophila suggest that tiRNAs may be a general feature of transcription in metazoa and possibly all eukaryotes.
