A large international team of scientists with various backgrounds has discovered that there were two domestication pathway events for grapes that led to their use in winemaking. In their paper published in the journal Science, the group describes conducting the largest-ever genome sequencing of grapevine varieties, mostly during pandemic lockdowns. Robin Allaby with the University of Warwick, has published a Perspectives piece in the same journal issue outlining the work done by the team.
