Key Points

To resolve lineage-specific genomic variations and refine cross-species synteny inference across major cereal genomes using a comparative pan-genomic framework.
Conducted comparative pan-genomic analyses across diverse cereal species.
Evaluated gene order conservation (synteny) and detected lineage-specific structural innovations.
Identified pervasive lineage-specific genomic innovations across distinct cereal lineages.
Demonstrated improved accuracy in resolving orthology and syntenic gene blocks across species compared to single-reference approaches.
