k-mer-based approaches to unlock genebank genomics for targeted crop improvement.
Review in Nature genetics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Genebanks have a vital role in safeguarding plant genetic resources and providing access to valuable genetic diversity that is absent from modern breeding gene pools. Yet, a major challenge for using genebank materials in crop improvement programs lies in selecting manageable subsets of accessions that maximize genetic diversity for traits of interest. The integration of genomic information is creating new opportunities to address this challenge. Recent studies have shown that k-mer-based bioinformatic approaches capture and reveal previously hidden functional diversity that is missing in elite cultivars. Here we present a perspective on how such approaches enable a precise identification of allele and haplotype diversity across large genebank collections that can guide the strategic selection of accessions for crop improvement. Incorporating this untapped genetic diversity from genebanks into crop improvement pipelines is increasingly recognized as a crucial strategy for developing climate-resilient cultivars.
