Genomics and synteny.

Building on early observations about natural plant variation in time and space, early geneticists, including Darwin, Mendel, and Vavilov, posed fundamental questions about the origin, structure, and evolution of genetic diversity. They postulated that an underlying reservoir of innate and heritable
