Here is a talk I presented at the European Cytogenetics Association ECA course in March 2026. Below is also an AI-generated summary of my points. Acknowledgements and references are on the slides. The Powerpoint file is 80Mb in size, and slides can be edited and used (CC-BY). The talk explains how cytogenomics—the study of chromosomes,…

An Immortalized Genetic Mapping Population for Perennial Ryegrass: A Resource for Phenotyping and Complex Trait Mapping
Velmurugan J, Milbourne D, Connolly V, Heslop-Harrison JS, Anhalt UC, Lynch MB, Barth S. 2018. An immortalized genetic mapping population for perennial ryegrass: a resource for phenotyping and complex trait mapping. Frontiers in Plant Science 9: article 717. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpls.2018.00717 To address the lack of a truly portable, universal reference mapping population for perennial ryegrass, we have…
Crop Improvement – Plant Nuclear Genomes
328. Heslop-Harrison JS. 2017. Crop Improvement: Plant Nuclear Genomes. Encyclopedia of Applied Plant Sciences 2nd Edition. In proof. Plant breeders work with large amounts of DNA sequence information including the sequences of all genes and the repetitive DNA that makes up the majority of most genomes. Knowledge of the diversity and evolution of the sequences…
