Throughout the years, most plant genomic studies were focused on nuclear chromosomes.
Extrachromosomal circular DNA (eccDNA) has largely been neglected for decades since its …

The transcriptome serves as a bridge that links genomic variation and phenotype diversity. A
vast number of studies using next-generation RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) in the last two …

The intergenic space of plant genomes encodes many functionally important yet unexplored
RNAs. The genomic loci encoding these RNAs are often considered “junk”, DNA as they are …

Long-read data is a great tool to discover new active transposable elements (TEs). However,
no ready-to-use tools were available to gather this information from low coverage ONT …

Background LTR retrotransposons play a significant role in plant growth, genome evolution,
and environmental stress response, but their regulatory response to heat stress remains …

Transposable elements (TEs) were initially considered redundant and dubbed 'junk DNA'.
However, more recently they were recognized as an essential element of genome plasticity …

Developing seed is a unique stage of plant development with highly dynamic changes in
transcriptome. Here, we aimed to detect the novel previously unannotated, genes of the …

Abstract 2S albumin (g11, g13, g14, and g28) is an important allergen in common
buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum). g13 is hydrophobic, rare in seeds, and may show …

Plant genomes possess numerous transposable element (TE) insertions that have occurred
during evolution. Most TEs are silenced or diverged; therefore, they lose their ability to …

Repetitive DNA contributes significantly to plant genome size, adaptation, and evolution.
However, little is understood about the transcription of repeats. This is addressed here in the …
