    Building the sequence map of the human pan-genome

    Here we integrate the de novo assembly of an Asian and an African genome with the NCBI reference human genome, as a step toward constructing the human pan-genome. We identified ∼5 Mb of novel sequences not presen...

    Transgenic plants expressing two Bacillus thuringiensis toxins delay insect resistance evolution

    Preventing insect pests from develo** resistance to Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) toxins produced by transgenic crops is a major challenge for agriculture. Theoretical models suggest that plants containing two di...
