  • The endemic Tibetan antelope is adapted to high-altitude environments with low partial pressure of oxygen and high level of ultraviolet radiation. Here Ge et al. report a draft genome of this species and by comparison with other mammals, present possible genetic bases of highland adaptation.

  • Understanding the fundamental nano–bio interactions of nanomaterials intended for biomedical use might unlock potential alternative applications. Here the authors reveal a tumoricidal mechanism of black phosphorus nanomaterials where these nanomaterials directly affect the mitotic centrosome machinery by suppressing polo-like kinase 1, suggesting that nanomaterials can be applied in targeted cancer therapy with their intrinsic nano–bio properties.

  • Here, a draft sequence of the giant panda genome is assembled using next-generation sequencing technology alone. Genome analysis reveals a low divergence rate in comparison with dog and human genomes and insights into panda-specific traits; for example, the giant panda's bamboo diet may be more dependent on its gut microbiome than its own genetic composition.

  • The wild rice species can be used as germplasm resources for this crop’s genetic improvement. Here Chen and colleagues report the de novo sequencing of the O. brachyanthagenome, and identify the origin of genome size variation, the role of gene movement and its implications on heterochromatin evolution in the rice genome.

  • Mulberry trees are the primary food source for silkworms, which are reared for the production of silk. In this study, He et al. present the draft genome sequence of Morus notabilisand find that it evolved significantly faster than other plants in the Rosales order.

  • Jun Wang and colleagues report the genome sequence of the cucumber. The cucumber genome is the seventh plant genome sequence to be reported and was assembled with a combination of traditional Sanger and next-generation sequencing methods.

  • The Brassica rapa Genome Sequencing Project Consortium reports the draft genome of the B. rapa accession Chiifu-401-42, an inbred Chinese cabbage line. The B. rapa genome should provide a useful reference genome for the Brassica species, which include many important oil and vegetable crops.
