Description:
Article Structural variations in crop genomes are thought to be responsible for significant differences in phenotype and they can be well-represented by a ‘pan-genome’. Here, Lu et al. develop an approach to genetically map pan-genome sequence anchors using 14,129 inbred lines of maize, showing structural variation is a significant source of adaptive variation.
