Flax is a globally important crop valued for its fiber, industrial uses, and omega-3-rich oil, yet incomplete genomic information has long limited efforts to understand and improve its key traits.

The use of draft genomes of different species and re-sequencing of accessions and populations are now common tools for plant biology research. The de novo assembled draft genomes make it possible to ...

Researchers at Forschungszentrum Jülich and Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf have developed a tool that could significantly transform genome research: Helixer identifies genes directly from DNA ...

Flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) is one of the richest plant sources of alpha-linolenic acid, an essential omega-3 fatty acid ...
