| 1 | Hi-TOM: a platform for high-throughput tracking of mutations induced by CRISPR/Cas systems显示文摘The CRISPR/Cas system has been extensively applied to make precise genetic modifications in various organisms. Despite its importance and widespread use, large-scale mutation screening remains time-consuming, labour-intensive and costly. Here, we developed Hi-TOM(available at http://www.hi-tom.net/hi-tom/), an online tool to track the mutations with precise percentage for multiple samples and multiple target sites. We also described a corresponding next-generation sequencing(NGS) library construction strategy by fixing the bridge sequences and barcoding primers. Analysis of the samples from rice, hexaploid wheat and human cells reveals that the Hi-TOM tool has high reliability and sensitivity in tracking various mutations, especially complex chimeric mutations frequently induced by genome editing. Hi-TOM does not require special design of barcode primers,cumbersome parameter configuration or additional data analysis. Thus, the streamlined NGS library construction and comprehensive result output make Hi-TOM particularly suitable for high-throughput identification of all types of mutations induced by CRISPR/Cas systems. | Qing Liu Chun Wang Xiaozhen Jiao Huawei Zhang Lili Song Yanxin Li Caixia Gao Kejian Wang | 2019 | Science China(Life Sciences)2019，62，1： | 37 |
| 2 | Development of a Haploid-Inducer Mediated Genome Editing System for Accelerating Maize Breeding显示文摘Crop breeding aims to generate pure in bred lines with multiple desired traits. Doubled haploid (DH) and genome editing using CRISPR/Cas9 are two powerful game-changing technologies in crop breeding. However, both of them still fall short for rapid generation of pure elite lines with integrated favorable traits. Here, we report the development of a Haploid-Inducer Mediated Genome Editing (IMGE) approach, which utilizes a maize haploid inducer line carrying a CRISPR/Cas9 cassette targeting for a desired agronomic trait to pollinate an elite maize in bred line and to generate genome-edited haploids in the elite maize background. Homozygous pure DH lines with the desired trait improvement could be generated within two generations, thus bypassing the lengthy procedure of repeated crossing and backcrossing used in conventional breeding for integrating a desirable trait into elite commercial backgrounds. | Baobao Wang Lei Zhu Binbin Zhao Yongping Zhao Yurong Xie Zhigang Zheng Yaoyao Li Juan Sun Haiyang Wang | 2019 | Molecular Plant2019，12，4： | 32 |
| 3 | De Novo Domestication:An Alternative Route toward New Crops for the Future显示文摘Current global agricultural production must feed over 7 billion people.However,productivity varies greatly across the globe and is under threat from both increased competitions for land and climate change and associated environmental deterioration.Moreover,the increase in human population size and dietary changes are putting an ever greater burden on agriculture.The majority of this burden is met by the cultivation of a very small number of species,largely in locations that differ from their origin of domestication.Recent technological advances have raised the possibility of de novo domestication of wild plants as a viable solution for designing ideal crops while maintaining food security and a more sustainable lowinput agriculture.Here we discuss how the discovery of multiple key domestication genes alongside the development of technologies for accurate manipulation of several target genes simultaneously renders de novo domestication a route toward crops for the future. | Alisdair R.Fernie Jianbing Yan | 2019 | Molecular Plant2019，12，5： | 32 |
| 4 | Rapid changes of microsatellite flanking sequence in the allopolyploidization of new synthesized hexaploid wheat显示文摘It was suggested that the rapid changes of DNA sequence and gene expression oc- curred at the early stages of allopolyploid formation. In this study, we revealed the microsatellite (SSR) differences between newly formed allopolyploids and their donor parents by using 21 primer sets specific for D genome of wheat. It was indicated that rapid changes had occurred in the “shock” process of the allopolyploid formation between tetraploid wheat and Aegilops tauschii. The changes of SSR flanking sequence resulted in appearance of novel bands or disappearance of parental bands. The disappearance of the parental bands showed much higher frequencies in comparison with that of appearance of novel bands. Disappearance of the parental bands was not random. The frequency of disappearance in tetraploid wheat was much higher than in Ae. tauschii, i. e. the disappearance frequency in AABB genome was much higher than in D genome. Changes of SSR flanking sequence occurred at the early stage of F1 hybrid or just after chro- mosome doubling. From the above results, it can be inferred that SSR flanking sequence region was very active and was amenable to change in the process of polyploidization. This suggested that SSR flanking sequence probably had special biological function at the early stage of ploy- ploidization. The rapid and directional changes at the early stage of polyploidization might con- tribute to the rapid evolution of the newly formed allopolyploid and allow the divergent genomes to act in harmony. | ZHANG Lianquan LIU Dengcai YAN Zehong LAN Xiujin ZHENG Youliang ZHOU Yonghong | 2004 | Science China(Life Sciences)2004，47，6： | 25 |
| 5 | Screening and breeding of high taxol producing fungi by genome shuffling显示文摘To apply the fundamental principles of genome shuffling in breeding of taxol-producing fungi, Nodulisporium sylviform was used as starting strain in this work. The procedures of protoplast fusion and genome shuffling were studied. Three hereditarily stable strains with high taxol production were obtained by four cycles of genome shuffling. The qualitative and quantitative analysis of taxol produced was confirmed using thin-layer chromatography (TLC), high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and LC-MS. A high taxol producing fungus, Nodulisporium sylviform F4-26, was obtained, which produced 516.37 μg/L taxol. This value is 64.41% higher than that of the starting strain NCEU-1 and 31.52%―44.72% higher than that of the parent strains. | ZHAO Kai, PING WenXiang, ZHANG LiNa, LIU Jun, LIN Yan, JIN Tao & ZHOU DongPo Laboratory of Microbiology, College of Life Science, Heilongjiang University, Harbin 150080, China | 2008 | Science China(Life Sciences)2008，51，3： | 25 |
| 6 | The Chrysanthemum nankingense Genome Provides Insights into the Evolution and Diversification of Chrysanthemum Flowers and Medicinal Traits显示文摘The Asteraceae (Compositae),a large plant family of approximately 24 000-35 000 species,accounts for^10% of all angiosperm species and contributes a lot to plant diversity.The most representative members of the Asteraceae are the economically important chrysanthemums (Chrysanthemum L.)that diversified through reticulate evolution.Biodiversity is typically created by multiple evolutionary mechanisms such as wholegenome duplication 0NGD)or polyploidization and locally repetitive genome expansion.However,the lack of genomic data from chrysanthemum species has prevented an in-depth analysis of the evolutionary mechanisms involved in their diversification.Here,we used Oxford Nanopore long-read technologyto sequence the diploid Chrysanthemum nankingense genome,which represents one of the progenitor genomes of domesticated chrysanthemums.Our analysis revealed that the evolution of the C.nankingense genome was driven by bursts of repetitive element expansion and WGD events including a recentWGD that distinguishes chrysanthemum from sunflower,which diverged from chrysanthemum approximately 38.8 million years ago.Variations of ornamental and medicinal traits in chrysanthemums are linked to the expansion of candidate gene families by duplication events including paralogous gene duplication.Collectively,our study of the assembled reference genome offers new knowledge and resources to dissect the history and pattern of evolution and diversification of chrysanthemum plants,and also to accelerate their breeding and improvement. | Chi Song Yifei Liu Aiping Song Gangqiang Dong Hongbo Zhao Wei Sun Shyam Ramakrishnan Ying Wang Shuaibin Wang Tingzhao Li Yan Niu Jiafu Jiang Bin Dong Ye Xia Sumei Chen Zhigang Hu Fadi Chen Shilin Chen | 2018 | Molecular Plant2018，11，12： | 24 |

| 8 | Sequencing of Cultivated Peanut, Arachis hypogaea, Yields Insights into Genome Evolution and Oil Improvement显示文摘Cultivated peanut (Arachis hypogaea) is an allotetraploid crop planted in Asia, Africa, and America for edible oil and protein. To explore the origins and consequences of tetraploidy, we sequenced the allotetraploid A. hypogaea genome and compared it with the related diploid Arachis duranensis and Arachis ipaensis genomes. We annotated 39 888 A-subgenome genes and 41 526 B-subgenome genes in allotetraploid peanut. The A. hypogaea subgenomes have evolved asymmetrically, with the B subgenome resembling the ancestral state and the A subgenome undergoing more gene disruption, loss, conversion, and transposable element proliferation, and having reduced gene expression during seed development despite lacking genome-wide expression dominance. Genomic and transcriptomic analyses identified more than 2 500 oil metabolism-related genes and revealed that most of them show altered expression early in seed development while their expression ceases during desiccation, presenting a comprehensive map of peanut lipid biosynthesis. The availability of these genomic resources will facilitate a better understanding of the complex genome architecture, agronomically and economically important genes, and genetic improvement of peanut. | Xiaoping Chen Qing Lu Hao Liu Jianan Zhang Yanbin Hong Haofa Lan Haifen Li Jinpeng Wang Haiyan Liu Shaoxiong Li Manish K.Pandey Zhikang Zhang Guiyuan Zhou Jigao Yu Guoqiang Zhang Jiaqing Yuan Xingyu Li Shijie Wen Fanbo Meng Shanlin Yu Xiyin Wang Kadambot H.M.Siddique Zhong-Jian Liu Andrew H.Paterson Rajeev K.Varshney Xuanqiang Liang | 2019 | Molecular Plant2019，12，7： | 23 |
| 9 | The Reference Genome Sequence of Scutellaria baicalensis Provides Insights into the Evolution of Wogonin Biosynthesis显示文摘Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi is important in Chinese traditional medicine where preparations of dried roots,'Huang Qin,' are used for liver and lung complaints and as complementary cancer treatments. We report a high-quality reference genome sequence for S. baicalensis where 93% of the 408.14-Mb genome has been assembled into nine pseudochromosomes with a super-N50 of 33.2 Mb. Comparison of this sequence with those of closely related species in the order Lamiales, sesamum indicum and Salvia splendens,revealed that a specialized metabolic pathway for the synthesis of 4'-deoxyflavone bioactives evolved in the genus Scu-tellaria. We found that the gene encoding a specific cinnamate coenzyme A ligase likely obtained its newfunc- tion following recent mutations, and that four genes encoding enzymes in the 4'-deoxyflavone pathway are present as tandem repeats in the genome of S. baicalensis. Further analyses revealed that gene duplications, segmental duplication, gene amplification, and point mutations coupled to gene neo- and subfunctionaliza-tions were involved in the evolution of 4'-deoxyflavone synthesis in the genus Scutellaria. Our study not only provides significant insight into the evolution of specific flavone biosynthetic pathways in the mint family, Lamiaceae, but also will facilitate the development of tools for enhancing bioactive productivity by metabolic engineering in microbes or by molecular breeding in plants. The reference genome of S. baicalensis is also useful for improving the genome assemblies for other members of the mint family and offers an important foundation for decoding the synthetic pathways of bioactive compounds in medicinal plants. | Qing Zhao Jun Yang Meng-Ying Cui Jie Liu Yumin Fang Mengxiao Yan Wenqing Qiu Huiwen Shang Zhicheng Xu Reheman Yidiresi Jing-Ke Weng Tomas Pluskal Marielle Vigouroux Burkhard Steuernagel Yukun Wei Lei Yang Yonghong Hu Xiao-Ya Chen Cathie Martin | 2019 | Molecular Plant2019，12，7： | 23 |
| 10 | Gene heterogeneity of hepatitis B virus isolates from patients with severe hepatitis B显示文摘BACKGROUND: The pathogenesis of severe hepatitis B remains unknown. Reports have indicated that hepatitis B virus (HBV) mutations are important factors in the pathogenesis of this disease. This study was to investigate the genetic heterogeneity of HBV strains from serum samples of patients with fulminant hepatitis B. METHODS: Full-length HBV genomes from 4 patients with severe hepatitis B were cloned and sequenced to observe mutations in every open reading-frame ( ORF). Serum samples of another 25 patients with severe hepatitis B, 30 patients with chronic hepatitis B, and 25 HBV carriers were collected for sequencing and comparison of mutations in preS2, preC and core promoter regions. RESULTS: Of 4 HBV full-length genome sequences, 3 had a G to A mutation at nucleotide A1896 in the preC region and 1 had double mutations of T1762-A1764 in the core promoter region. The 4 sequences showed mutations in the known B or T cell epitopes of the preS2 and C regions. For the other 3 groups, more mutations were seen in the preS2 region in the HBV isolates from the patients with severe hepatitis B than those from the patients with chronic hepatitis B and HBV carriers (P <0.01). There was a significant difference of mutations in the T cell epitope region of preS2 between the patients with severe hepatitis B and those with chronic hepatitis B or HBV carriers (P <0.01). In the preC and core promoter regions, the mutation frequencies of T1653 and C1753 were 48.0% and 24.0% respectively in the patients with severe hepatitis B, but none of these mutations were observed in the patients with chronic hepatitis B group or HBV carriers (P <0.01). The mutation frequency of T1762-A1764 was 76.0% in the patients with severe hepatitis B, 40.0% in the patients with chronic hepatitis B (P <0. 01) , and 16. 0% in the HBV carriers ( P < 0. 01). There was a significant difference in A1896 mutation between the patients with severe hepatitis B and the patients with chronic hepatitis B (P < 0. 05 ) or the HBV carriers (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Our observations suggest that the accumulation and persistence of high frequency mutations or complex mutations may be associated with the development and deterioration of HBV infection. | Wei Wu, Yu Chen, Bing Ruan and Lan-Juan Li Hangzhou, China Department of Infectious Diseases, First Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Key Laboratory of Infectious Diseases of Health Ministry of China, Hangzhou 310003, China | 2005 | Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Diseases International2005，4，4： | 20 |
| 11 | Perspectives on the Application of Genome-Editing Technologies in Crop Breeding显示文摘Most conventional and modern crop-improvement methods exploit natural or artificially induced genetic variations and require laborious characterization of the progenies of multiple generations derived from time-consuming genetic crosses.Genome-editing systems,in contrast,provide the means to rapidly modify genomes in a precise and predictable way,making it possible to introduce improvements directly into elite varieties.Here,we describe the range of applications available to agricultural researchers using existing genome-editing tools.In addition to providing examples of genome-editing applications in crop breeding,we discuss the technical and social challenges faced by breeders using genome-editing tools for crop improvement. | Kai Hua Jinshan Zhang Jose Ramon Botella Changle Ma Fanjiang Kong Baohui Liu Jian-Kang Zhu | 2019 | Molecular Plant2019，12，8： | 19 |
| 12 | Detection of hepatitis C virus NS5 protein and genome in Chinese carcinoma of the extrahepatic bile duct and its significance显示文摘AIM To investigate the hepatitis C virus(HCV)infection in the tissues of carcinoma ofextrahepatic bile duct and study theircorrelation.METHODS HCV NS5 protein and HCV RNA weredetected by labeled streptavidin biotin(LSAB)method and in situ reverse transcriptionpolymerase chain reaction(IS-RT-PCR)insections of 51 cases of carcinoma ofextrahepatic bile duct and 34 cases of controlgroup(without malignant biliary disease).RESULTS In 51 cases of carcinoma ofextrahepatic bile duct,HCV NS5 protein wasdetected in 14(27.5%),which was clearlystained in the cytoplasm of cancer cell but not inthe nucleus or cell membrane.HCV RNA wasdetected in 18(35.4%),which was located inthe nucleus of cancer cell in 12 cases and in thecytoplasm in 6 cases.HCV NS5 protein and RNAcoexistence was found in 2 cases.In 34 cases ofcontrol group,HCV RNA was detected in 2(5.9%).HCV NS5 protein and RNA positive cellswere found either scattered or in clusters.CONCLUSION The prevalence of hepatitis C viral infection in the tissues of carcinoma ofextrahepatic bile duct was significantly higherthan in control group(X^2=9.808,P=0.002).The findings suggest a correlation between HCVinfection and carcinoma of extrahepatic bileduct,which is different from the traditionalviewpoint.HCV infection might be involved inthe development of carcinoma of extrahepaticbile duct. | Ming Yi Chen Zhi Qiang Huang Le Zhen Chen Ya Bing Gao Rui Yun Peng De Wen Wang | 2000 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2000，6，6： | 19 |
| 13 | Gene editing in plants:progress and challenges显示文摘The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat(CRISPR)-associated protein 9(Cas9)genome editing system is a powerful tool for targeted gene modifications in a wide range of species,including plants.Over the last few years,this system has revolutionized the way scientists perform genetic studies and crop breeding,due to its simplicity,flexibility,consistency and high efficiency.Considerable progress has been made in optimizing CRISPR/Cas9 systems in plants,particularly for targeted gene mutagenesis.However,there are still a number of important challenges ahead,including methods for the efficient delivery of CRISPR and other editing tools to most plants,and more effective strategies for sequence knock-ins and replacements.We provide our viewpoint on the goals,potential concerns and future challenges for the development and application of plant genome editing tools. | Yanfei Mao Jose Ramon Botella Yaoguang Liu Jian-Kang Zhu | 2019 | National Science Review2019，6，3： | 17 |
| 14 | Chromosomal level assembly and population sequencing of the Chinese tree shrew genome显示文摘Chinese tree shrews (Tupaia belangeri chinensis) have become an increasingly important experimental animal in biomedical research due to their close relationship to primates. An accurately sequenced and assembled genome is essential for understanding the genetic features and biology of this animal. In this study, we used long-read single-molecule sequencing and high-throughput chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C) technology to obtain a high-qualitychromosome-scale scaffolding of the Chinese tree shrew genome. The new reference genome (KIZ version 2: TS_2.0) resolved problems in presently available tree shrew genomes and enabled accurate identification of large and complex repeat regions, gene structures, and species-specific genomic structural variants. In addition, by sequencing the genomes of six Chinese tree shrew individuals, we produced a comprehensive map of 12.8 M single nucleotide polymorphisms and confirmed that the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) loci and immunoglobulin gene family exhibited high nucleotide diversity in the tree shrew genome. We updated the tree shrew genome database (TreeshrewDB v2.0: http://www.treeshrewdb.org) to include the genome annotation information and genetic variations. The new high-quality reference genome of the Chinese tree shrew and the updated TreeshrewDB will facilitate the use of this animal in many different fields of research. | Yu Fan Mao-Sen Ye Jin-Yan Zhang Ling Xu Dan-Dan Yu Tian-Le Gu Yu-Lin Yao Jia-Qi Chen Long-Bao Lv Ping Zheng Dong-Dong Wu Guo-Jie Zhang Yong-Gang Yao | 2019 | Zoological Research2019，40，6： | 15 |
| 15 | Perspectives of DNA microarray and next-generation DNA sequencing technologies显示文摘DNA microarray and next-generation DNA sequencing technologies are important tools for high-throughput genome research,in revealing both the structural and functional characteristics of genomes.In the past decade the DNA microarray technologies have been widely applied in the studies of functional genomics,systems biology and pharmacogenomics.The next-generation DNA sequencing method was first introduced by the 454 Company in 2003,immediately followed by the establishment of the Solexa and Solid techniques by other biotech companies.Though it has not been long since the first emergence of this technology,with the fast and impressive improvement,the application of this technology has extended to almost all fields of genomics research,as a rival challenging the existing DNA microarray technology.This paper briefly reviews the working principles of these two technologies as well as their application and perspectives in genome research. | TENG XiaoKun1 & XIAO HuaSheng1,2 1 National Engineering Center for Biochip at Shanghai,Shanghai 201203,China 2 Shanghai-MOST Key Laboratory of Health and Disease Genomics,Chinese National Human Genome Center,Shanghai 201203,China | 2009 | Science China(Life Sciences)2009，52，1： | 15 |
| 16 | Review of current diagnostic methods and advances in Helicobacter pylori diagnostics in the era of next generation sequencing显示文摘Helicobacter pylori(H.pylori)infection is highly prevalent in the human population and may lead to severe gastrointestinal pathology including gastric and duodenal ulcers,mucosa associated tissue lymphoma and gastric adenocarcinoma.In recent years,an alarming increase in antimicrobial resistance and subsequently failing empiric H.pylori eradication therapies have been noted worldwide,also in many European countries.Therefore,rapid and accurate determination of H.pylori’s antibiotic susceptibility prior to the administration of eradication regimens becomes ever more important.Traditionally,detection of H.pylori and its antimicrobial resistance is done by culture and phenotypic drug susceptibility testing that are cumbersome with a long turn-around-time.Recent advances in diagnostics provide new tools,like real-time polymerase chain reaction(PCR)and line probe assays,to diagnose H.pylori infection and antimicrobial resistance to certain antibiotics,directly from clinical specimens.Moreover,high-throughput whole genome sequencing technologies allow the rapid analysis of the pathogen’s genome,thereby allowing identification of resistance mutations and associated antibiotic resistance.In the first part of this review,we will give an overview on currently available diagnostic methods for detection of H.pylori and its drug resistance and their implementation in H.pylori management.The second part of the review focusses on the use of next generation sequencing technology in H.pylori research.To this end,we conducted a literature search for original research articles in English using the terms“Helicobacter”,“transcriptomic”,“transcriptome”,“next generation sequencing”and“whole genome sequencing”.This review is aimed to bridge the gap between current diagnostic practice(histology,rapid urease test,H.pylori culture,PCR and line probe assays)and new sequencing technologies and their potential implementation in diagnostic laboratory settings in order to complement the currently recommended H.pylori management guidelines and subsequently improve public health. | Daniel Pohl Peter M Keller Valentine Bordier Karoline Wagner | 2019 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2019，25，32： | 15 |

| 18 | Rheumatoid arthritis susceptibility genes: An overview显示文摘Rheumatoid arthritis(RA) is a chronic, inflammatory autoimmune disease sustained by genetic factors. Various aspects of the genetic contribution to the pathogenetics and outcome of RA are still unknown. Several genes have been indicated so far in the pathogenesis of RA. Apart from human leukocyte antigen, large genome wide association studies have identified many loci involved in RA pathogenesis. These genes include protein tyrosine phosphatase, nonreceptor type 22, Peptidyl Arginine Deiminase type Ⅳ, signal transducer and activator of transcription 4, cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4, tumor necrosis factor-receptor associated factor 1/complement component 5, tumor necrosis factor and others. It is important to determine whether a combination of RA risk alleles are able to identify patients who will develop certain clinical outcomes, such myocardium infarction, severe infection or lymphoma, as well as to identify patients who will respond to biological medication therapy. | Izabela Korczowska | 2014 | World Journal of Orthopedics2014，5，4： | 14 |
| 19 | Epidemiological studies of esophageal cancer in the era of genome-wide association studies显示文摘Esophageal cancer(EC) caused about 395000 deaths in 2010. China has the most cases of EC and EC is the fourth leading cause of cancer death in China. Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma(ESCC) is the predominant histologic type(90%-95%), while the incidence of esophageal adenocarcinoma(EAC) remains extremely low in China. Traditional epidemiological studies have revealed that environmental carcinogens are risk factors for EC. Molecular epidemiological studies revealed that susceptibility to EC is influenced by both environmental and genetic risk factors. Of all the risk factors for EC, some are associated with the risk of ESCC and others with the risk of EAC. However, the details and mechanisms of risk factors involved in the process for EC are unclear. The advanced methods and techniques used in human genome studies bring a great opportunity for researchers to explore and identify the details of those risk factors or susceptibility genes involved inthe process of EC. Human genome epidemiology is a new branch of epidemiology, which leads the epidemiology study from the molecular epidemiology era to the era of genome wide association studies(GWAS). Here we review the epidemiological studies of EC(especially ESCC) in the era of GWAS, and provide an overview of the general risk factors and those genomic variants(genes, SNPs, miRNAs, proteins) involved in the process of ESCC. | An-Hui Wang Yuan Liu Bo Wang Yi-Xuan He Ye-Xian Fang Yong-Ping Yan | 2014 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Pathophysiology2014，5，3： | 14 |
| 20 | QTG-Seq Accelerates QTL Fine Mapping through QTL Partitioning and Whole-Genome Sequencing of Bulked Segregant Samples显示文摘Deciphering the genetic mechanisms underlying agronomic traits is of great importance for crop improvement. Most of these traits are controlled by multiple quantitative trait loci (QTLs), and identifying the underlying genes by conventional QTL fine-mapping is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Here, we devised a new method, named quantitative trait gene sequencing (QTG-seq), to accelerate QTL fine-mapping. QTGseq combines QTL partitioning to convert a quantitative trait into a near-qualitative trait, sequencing of bulked segregant pools from a large segregating population, and the use of a robust new algorithm for identifying candidate genes. Using QTG-seq, we fine-mapped a plant-height QTL in maize (Zea mays L.), qPH7, to a 300-kb genomic interval and verified that a gene encoding an NF-YC transcription factor was the functional gene. Functional analysis suggested that qPH7-encoding protein might influence plant height by interacting with a CO-like protein and an AP2 domain-containing protein. Selection footprint ana卜 ysis indicated that qPH7 was subject to strong selection during maize improvement. In summary, QTG-seq provides an efficient method for QTL fine-mapping in the era of “big data'. | Hongwei Zhang Xi Wang Qingchun Pan Pei Li Yunjun Liu Xiaoduo Lu Wanshun Zhong Minqi Li Linqian Han Juan Li Pingxi Wang Dongdong Li Yan Liu Qing Li Fang Yang Yuan-Ming Zhang Guoying Wang Lin Li | 2019 | Molecular Plant2019，12，3： | 13 |
