Article Synopsis
  • Pangenomics is becoming important in plant genomics, with many major crops having their genomes sequenced, though polyploid species like wheat and cotton have fewer pangenome resources available.
  • This review discusses the methods used in developing crop pangenomes, tackles challenges encountered, and provides a systematic guide, using alfalfa as a case study for polyploid species.
  • Pangenome resources help uncover important genetic information, and accessible online tools for visualizing pangenomes are expanding their use among scientists and breeders.

This document assesses the appropriateness of various imaging studies for acute penetrating trauma to the torso. Penetrating trauma most commonly occurs from gunshots and stabbings, although any object can impale the patient. Anatomic location, type of penetrating trauma, and hemodynamic status are among the many important factors when deciding upon if, what, and when imaging is needed to further evaluate the patient.

Cultivated potatoes are incredibly diverse, ranging from diploid to pentaploid and encompass four different species. They are adapted to disparate environments and conditions and carry unique alleles for resistance to pests and pathogens. Describing how diversity is partitioned within and among these populations is essential to understanding the potato genome and effectively utilizing landraces in breeding.
