DNA methylation, also known as 5-methylcytosine, is an epigenetic modification that has
crucial functions in plant growth, development and adaptation. The cellular DNA methylation …

Since the human genome was sequenced, the term" epigenetics" is increasingly being
associated with the hope that we are more than just the sum of our genes. Might what we …

A complete telomere-to-telomere (T2T) finished genome has been the long pursuit of
genomic research. Through generating deep coverage ultralong Oxford Nanopore …

We report de novo genome assemblies, transcriptomes, annotations, and methylomes for
the 26 inbreds that serve as the founders for the maize nested association map** …

Background DNA methylation is an important feature of plant epigenomes, involved in the
formation of heterochromatin and affecting gene expression. Extensive variation of DNA …

Plants grow in dynamic environments where they can be exposed to a multitude of stressful
factors, all of which affect their development, yield, and, ultimately, reproductive success …

Speciation is the process by which barriers to gene flow evolve between populations.
Although we now know that speciation is largely driven by natural selection, knowledge of …

Genome-wide association study (GWAS) has become a widely accepted strategy for
decoding genotype-phenotype associations in many species thanks to advances in next …

Epigenome modulation potentially provides a mechanism for organisms to adapt, within and
between generations. However, neither the extent to which this occurs, nor the mechanisms …

Plant breeding has traditionally relied on combining the genetic diversity present within a
species to develop combinations of alleles that provide desired traits. Epigenetic diversity …
