Recent technological advances have made it possible to decode DNA methylomes at single-
base-pair resolution under various physiological conditions. Many aberrant or differentially …

Crop diseases, in conjunction with climate change, are a major threat to global crop
production. DNA methylation is an epigenetic mark and is involved in plants' biological …

De novo gene birth is the process by which new genes evolve from DNA sequences that
were ancestrally non-genic. De novo genes represent a subset of novel genes, and may be …

Transposable elements (TEs) are exceptional contributors to eukaryotic genome diversity.
Their ubiquitous presence impacts the genomes of nearly all species and mediates genome …

The generation of thousands of fungal genomes is leading to a better understanding of
genes and genomic organization within the kingdom. However, the epigenome, which …

Post‐translational modifications (PTMs) are important for protein function and regulate
multiple cellular processes and secondary metabolites (SMs) in fungi. Aspergillus species …

Cordyceps militaris is an entomopathogenic ascomycete with similar pharmacological
importance to that of the wild caterpillar fungus Ophiocordyceps sinensis. C. militaris has …

Plants have developed diverse molecular and cellular mechanisms to cope with a lifetime of
exposure to a variety of pathogens. Host transcriptional reprogramming is a central part of …

Plant microbiomes are not only diverse, but also appear to host a vast pool of secondary
metabolites holding great promise for bioactive natural products and drug discovery. Yet …

DNA methylation is essential for epigenetic regulation of gene transcription and
development in many animals, plants and fungi. We investigated whether DNA methylation …
