Nature research paper: A pangenome and pantranscriptome of hexaploid oat go.nature.com/47OSVvb

The #Oat Newsletter has been updated! oatnews.org/node/1364 This update includes eight new research summaries and/or translations for you. There is also some information about various meetings, some scientific, some not! #oats

The PanOat pangenome project was a major international effort! Researchers at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada were a big part of that, as well as the companion study: agriculture.canada.ca/en/science/s... Congratulations to all! #oats #genomics #plantbreeding #cropwildrelatives

IBERS scientists helped crack the oat genome! 🌾 33 genomes sequenced, 9,000+ mapped, and the first oat pan-transcriptome released. A major step toward healthier, climate-resilient oats. Read More: https://ow.ly/iNY350XkbBl #Oats #IBERS #PanOat #Genomics #Nature #BBSRC

Excited to see in print the results of many years of collaboration with some great scientists in the world wide oat community- read more at rdcu.be/eNfl6 and rdcu.be/eNlf24 @nature.com @ukri.org @ibers.bsky.social @aberuni.bsky.social

An international research team led by the @leibnizipk.bsky.social has succeeded in creating a pangenome of oats. In a further study, another research team investigated the origin of oats. ➡️PR: tinyurl.com/3hpcz852 ➡️"Nature": tinyurl.com/28v8e89j ➡️"Nature Communications": tinyurl.com/yf3ada3j
