Domestication Genomics: Untangling the Complex History of African Rice

Study of domestication is complex but essential to our understanding of evolutionary processes and for crop breeding. A new study analyzes genomic data from 163 lines of domesticated African rice and 83 lines of its wild relative, clarifying the history of African rice domestication.
