My lab had a great visit to Gourdlandia yesterday. We made our own bottle gourd lights and talked about bottle gourd history and genetics!

The bottle gourd has been used to make bottles, instruments, and containers for over 10,000 years. BTI researchers created a genetic blueprint, gaining insights that could boost food security in a changing world. news.btiscience.org/235954-a…

Kazakhstan’s Tian Shan mountains, where Malus sieversii (a wild apple and primary ancestor of modern apples) thrives may unlock the key to making the fruit more resilient to stress. BTI's @fei_lab recently offered his insight in @SmithsonianMag.

Scientists at BTI have constructed a comprehensive “super-pangenome” for watermelon and its wild relatives, uncovering beneficial genes lost during domestication that could improve disease resistance and fruit quality of this vital fruit crop. @fei_lab btiscience.org/explore-bti/n…
Glad to share our collaborative work on the super-pangenome of tomato constructed from chromosome-scale reference-grade assemblies of nine wild tomato species, a landrace and a cultivar(M82) we newly generated. @BTIscience @CornellCALS nature.com/articles/s41588-0…
The chromosome-scale genome of Torreya grandis (香榧), the largest genome (~20 Gb) and the first gymnosperm genome we and collaborators have assembled so far. Thanks to the @PacBio HiFi and the #Hi-C technologies. nature.com/articles/s41467-0…
