A thousand melon genomes

A thousand melon genomes

A study published in Nature Genetics uncovers how domestication changed fruit quality traits in melon  

Genetics of Pharaoh’s Wheat

Genetics of Pharaoh’s Wheat

3,000-year-old Egyptian wheat genome sequenced for the first time

Almond and Peach Genomes

Almond tree and Peach tree Genomes

The movement of the transposons could lie at the origin of the differences between the fruit of both species or the flavour of the almond
