Expansions of gene-specific DNA tandem repeats (TRs), first described in 1991 as a
disease-causing mutation in humans, are now known to cause> 60 phenotypes, not just …

Extant genomes are largely shaped by global transposition, copy-number fluctuation, and
rearrangement of DNA sequences rather than by substitutions of single nucleotides …

Key message The major soy protein QTL, cqProt-003, was analysed for haplotype diversity
and global distribution, and results indicate 304 bp deletion and variable tandem repeats in …

Isopropylmalate dehydratase (IPDS) is one of the key enzymes in leucine biosynthesis,
which together with valine and isoleucine are classified as branched-chain amino acids …

Meiotic crossover frequency varies within genomes, which influences genetic diversity and
adaptation. In turn, genetic variation within populations can act to modify crossover …

Most research on trinucleotide repeats (TRs) focuses on human diseases, with few on the
impact of TR expansions on plant gene expression. This work investigates TRs' effect on …

Transcriptional downregulation caused by intronic triplet repeat expansions underlies
diseases such as Friedreich's ataxia. This downregulation of gene expression is coupled …

Central to plant microRNA (miRNA) biology is the identification of functional miRNA‐target
interactions (MTIs). However, the complementarity basis of bioinformatic target prediction …

Parent-of-origin effects arise when a phenotype depends on whether it is inherited
maternally or paternally. Parent-of-origin effects can exert a strong influence on F1 seed size …

Intronic trinucleotide repeat (TNR) is widely distributed in plant genomes. In Arabidopsis
accession Bur-0, abnormally expanded TTC repeat in intron-3 of the ISOPROPYLMALATE …
