Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Wild emmer wheat (Triticum turgidum subsp. dicoccoides, WEW) was one of the first crops domesticated in the Neolithic revolution that shifted humanity to agrarian societies. Understanding its population genomics has both evolutionary significance and direct relevance to wheat improvement. Leveraging whole-genome sequencing (WGS) data from 291 accessions (~ 9.5x coverage), we identified 3.4 million...
