Abstract

A better understanding of crop genomes reveals that structural variations (SVs) are crucial for genetic improvement. A graph-based pan-genome by Yan et al. uncovered 424 085 genomic SVs and provided novel insights into heat tolerance of pearl millet. We discuss how these SVs can fast-track pearl millet breeding under harsh environments.

摘要

对作物基因组的深入了解表明，结构变异（SV）对于遗传改良至关重要。Yan 等人基于图谱的泛基因组揭示了 424085 个基因组 SV，为珍珠粟耐热性提供了新的见解。我们讨论了这些 SV 如何在恶劣环境下加速珍珠粟的育种。
