Article Synopsis
- An improved draft sequence of the maize genome has been produced, revealing over 32,000 predicted genes, with almost all placed on reference chromosomes.
- The genome consists of 85% transposable elements, which influence gene composition and positioning, including the dynamics of centromeres.
- The study also highlights the roles of methylation-poor regions, transposon insertions, and gene losses in the evolution of maize, providing insights for future research on its domestication and agricultural enhancements.
