An international team of scientists has sequenced the whole genomes and epigenomes of more than 1000 Arabidopsis thaliana plants,sampled from geographically diverse locations. The collection of 1001 genomes and 1001 epigenomes not only illuminates new aspects of its evolutionary history, but also provides a comprehensive, and species-wide picture of the interaction between genetic and epigenetic variation in this necessary model plant.
