Standardized microhaplotype databases and frameworks for assessing and mining crop genetic diversityNARA Subscribed
Keymessage Standardized microhaplotype databases for eight diverse crops enable multiallelic analyses, comparative genetics, and breeding decisions. Abstract Microhaplotypes are short genomic segments that contain multiple tightly linked variants, providing multi-allelic data that can enhance genetic resolution compared to traditional biallelic single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers. Here, we present the creation and uti...
With climate change, marine heatwaves become more frequent and may favour the emergence of cyanobacterial blooms. Because cyanobacteria lack long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, they provide poor dietary quality for consumers, potentially altering the fatty acid composition of primary consumers and propagating nutritional stress through food webs. We examined how a simulated heatwave (12 °C to 18 °C) and an associated cyano...
Coastal waters are increasingly susceptible to low-oxygen conditions where circulation or nutrient inputs have been altered by anthropogenic activities, leading to increased occurrence of coastal hypoxia worldwide. Low-oxygen conditions also occur naturally in coastal settings, typically in bottom water or landward of sills where circulation is weak. Here we identify and characterize a persistent, low-oxygen layer in the mid-w...
