Gigascience . 2019 Nov; 8(12). PMID: 31782791
Background: Sugarcane cultivars are polyploid interspecific hybrids of giant genomes, typically with 10-13 sets of chromosomes from 2 Saccharum species. The ploidy, hybridity, and size of the genome, estimated to...

Nat Commun . 2019 Nov; 10(1):5241. PMID: 31748530
A gene is considered essential if loss of function results in loss of viability, fitness or in disease. This concept is well established for coding genes; however, non-coding regions are...

Nat Genet . 2018 Oct; 50(11):1565-1573. PMID: 30297971
Modern sugarcanes are polyploid interspecific hybrids, combining high sugar content from Saccharum officinarum with hardiness, disease resistance and ratooning of Saccharum spontaneum. Sequencing of a haploid S. spontaneum, AP85-441, facilitated...

IEEE Trans Pattern Anal Mach Intell . 2018 Jul; 40(12):2841-2852. PMID: 29989981
In order to solve large-scale lasso problems, screening algorithms have been developed that discard features with zero coefficients based on a computationally efficient screening rule. Most existing screening rules were...

Sci Rep . 2017 Nov; 7(1):15879. PMID: 29158487
Unraveling the complexity of aging is crucial for understanding its mechanisms and its role as a risk factor for most chronic conditions. Advancements marked by genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have...
