The article presents a comprehensive study of the oat genome, including the assembly of 33 diverse oat lines, analysis of gene expression, structural variations, and the impact of chromosomal rearrangements on breeding and traits like flowering time and yield, highlighting the importance of pangenomic resources for oat improvement.
A recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences suggests that magic mushrooms, specifically the Psilocybe genus, emerged around 65 million years ago, coinciding with the extinction of dinosaurs caused by a meteor impact. Despite being illegal under federal law, psilocybin therapy has gained approval in Oregon and Colorado, offering potential psychological benefits. Scientists have been conducting genomic diversity studies on these fungi and aim to sequence the genomic sequence for each Psilocybe specimen by 2020.
