Transposable elements (TEs) are mobile DNA sequences that propagate within genomes.
Through diverse invasion strategies, TEs have come to occupy a substantial fraction of …

Transposable elements (TEs) are the key players in generating genomic novelty by a
combination of the chromosome rearrangements they cause and the genes that come under …

The completion of reference genome sequences for many important crops and the ability to
perform high-throughput resequencing are providing opportunities for improving our …

LTR retrotransposons are the most abundant group of transposable elements (TEs) in
plants. These elements can fall inside or close to genes, and therefore influence their …

Transposable elements (TEs) are mobile repetitive DNA sequences shown to be major
drivers of genome evolution. As the first plant to have its genome sequenced and analyzed …

Plant development processes are regulated by epigenetic alterations that shape nuclear
structure, gene expression, and phenotypic plasticity; these alterations can provide the plant …

Little is known about patterns of genic DNA methylation across the plant kingdom or about
the evolutionary processes that shape them. To characterize gene-body methylation (gbM) …

Transposable elements (TEs) are often the primary determinant of genome size differences
among eukaryotes. In plants, the proliferation of TEs is countered through epigenetic …

Transposable elements (TEs) are responsible for significant genomic variation in plants. Our
understanding of the evolutionary forces shaping TE polymorphism has lagged behind other …

Small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) are an ancient class of small non-coding RNAs present in
all eukaryotes and a subset of archaea that carry out a fundamental role in the modification …
