Gametogenesis (spermatogenesis and oogenesis) is accompanied by the acquisition of
gender-specific epigenetic marks, such as DNA methylation, histone modifications and …

How different intrinsic sequence variations and regulatory modifications of histones combine
in nucleosomes remain unclear. To test the importance of histone variants in the …

Allopolyploidisation merges evolutionarily distinct parental genomes (subgenomes) into a
single nucleus. A frequent observation is that one subgenome is 'dominant'over the other …

Long intergenic noncoding RNAs (lincRNAs) are a large yet enigmatic class of eukaryotic
transcripts that can have critical biological functions. The wealth of RNA-sequencing (RNA …

Duckweeds are among the fastest reproducing plants, able to clonally divide at exponential
rates. However, the genetic and epigenetic impact of clonality on plant genomes is poorly …

Plants must adapt with increasing speed to global warming to maintain their fitness. One
rapid adaptation mechanism is epigenetic memory, which may provide organisms sufficient …

Temperature conditions experienced during embryogenesis and seed development may
induce epigenetic changes that increase phenotypic variation in plants. Here we investigate …

Advances in the study of human DNA methylation variation offer a new avenue for the
translation of epigenetic research results to clinical applications. Although current …

Background Pilocytic astrocytoma (PA) is the most common pediatric brain tumor. While
genome and transcriptome landscapes are well studied, data of the complete methylome …

methylcytosine (5mC) is a modified base often described as necessary for the proper
regulation of genes and transposons and for the maintenance of genome integrity in plants …
