In spite of the biological and economic importance of plants, relatively few plant species
have been sequenced. Only the genome sequence of plants with relatively small genomes …

Variants within non-coding genomic regions can greatly affect disease. In recent years,
increasing focus has been given to these variants, and how they can alter regulatory …

Maritime pine (P inus pinaster A it.) is a widely distributed conifer species in S outhwestern E
