TL;DR: The considerable potential for cross-disciplinary exchange is highlighted to provide novel insights into how culture has shaped the human genome, supported by recent analyses of human genetic variation, which reveal that hundreds of genes have been subject to recent positive selection.

TL;DR: It is proposed that the adoption of vegetative propagation was a double-edged sword: Although it provided a benefit by ensuring true breeding cultivars, it also discouraged the generation of unique cultivars through crosses.

TL;DR: Humanity depends on fewer than a dozen of the approximately 300,000 species of flowering plants for 80% of its caloric intake and capitalize on only a fraction of the genetic diversity that resides within each of these species.

TL;DR: LinkImpute is introduced, a software package based on a k-nearest neighbor genotype imputation method, LD-kNNi, which is designed for unordered markers and exploits the fact that markers useful for imputation often are not physically close to the missing genotype but rather distributed throughout the genome.
