I presented a talk to the Plant Chromosome Biology Conference in Vienna in September 2025. The abstract was Cytogenomics of oat (Avena) genome evolution: Intra- and inter-genomic chromosomal translocations, repetitive DNA dynamics, and reconstruction of ancestral grass karyotypes show genome evolution in actionPat Heslop-Harrison1,2, Trude Schwarzacher1,2, Paulina Tomaszewska1,3, Qing Liu21University of Leicester, Institute for Environmental…

Avena longiglumis: a 3,961 Mb diploid oat genome sequence assembly
The study presents the chromosome-level genome assembly of Avena longiglumis, a diploid oat species. The assembly is high-quality, with 99% completeness and 40,845 annotated protein-coding genes. It provides insights into genome evolution, expansion, and structural variations, offering valuable information for oat breeding and functional genomics. Additionally, mitochondrial genome and comparative studies have been conducted.
