The use and domestication of Theobroma cacao during the mid-Holocene in the upper
Amazon
Evidence from starch grains, theobromine residues and ancient DNA demonstrate cacao use in the upper Amazon circa 5,300 years
ago. This is earlier than previous evidence for cacao domestication in Mesoamerica.

The wax gourd genomes offer insights into the genetic diversity and ancestral cucurbit
karyotype
Cucurbits fruits have diverse shapes and sizes, but their genomes evolution and genetic basis of diversity are unclear. Here, the
authors show that the wax gourd genome has the most ancestral karyotype among cucurbits and identify candidate genes
which contribute to large fruit size by comparative and population genomics analyses.

The importance of genomic variation for biodiversity, ecosystems and people
The effects of genetic variation on the adaptive potential of species depend on the frequencies of alleles at other loci in the individual
or in the population, and the patterns of spatio-temporal co-occurrence between alleles in interacting species. This Review explores
these population and community genomic contexts and their direct and indirect effects on biodiversity, ecosystems and people.
