Although pioneered by human geneticists as a potential solution to the challenging problem
of finding the genetic basis of common human diseases 1 , 2 , genome-wide association (…

We resequenced 876 short fragments in a sample of 96 individuals of Arabidopsis thaliana
that included stock center accessions as well as a hierarchical sample from natural …

We report the 207-Mb genome sequence of the North American Arabidopsis lyrata strain MN47
based on 8.3× dideoxy sequence coverage. We predict 32,670 genes in this outcrossing …

The genomes of individuals from the same species vary in sequence as a result of different
evolutionary processes. To examine the patterns of, and the forces shaping, sequence …

Linkage disequilibrium (LD) is a major aspect of the organization of genetic variation in
natural populations. Here we describe the genome-wide pattern of LD in a sample of 19 …

A powerful way to map functional genomic variation and reveal the genetic basis of local
adaptation is to associate allele frequency across the genome with environmental conditions 1 , …

We present a new approach to genotyping based on multiplexed shotgun sequencing that
can identify recombination breakpoints in a large number of individuals simultaneously at a …

The shift from outcrossing to selfing is common in flowering plants 1 , 2 , but the genomic
consequences and the speed at which they emerge remain poorly understood. An excellent …

Plants can defend themselves against a wide array of enemies, from microbes to large
animals, yet there is great variability in the effectiveness of such defences, both within and …

We create a new assembly of the Drosophila simulans genome using 142 million paired
short-read sequences and previously published data for strain w 501 . Our assembly represents …
