As sessile species and without the possibility of escape, plants constantly face numerous
environmental stresses. To adapt in the external environmental cues, plants adjust …

Noncoding DNA regions have central roles in human biology, evolution, and disease.
ChromHMM helps to annotate the noncoding genome using epigenomic information across …

Genetic map** studies on crops suggest that agronomic traits can be controlled by gene–
distal intergenic loci. Despite the biological importance and the potential agronomic utility of …

DNA methylation is an epigenetic modification of the genome involved in the regulation of
gene expression and modulation of chromatin structure. Plant genomes are widely …

DNA methylation occurs in CG and non-CG sequence contexts. Non-CG methylation is
abundant in plants and is mediated by CHROMOMETHYLASE (CMT) and DOMAINS …

Histone lysine methylation has emerged as a critical player in the regulation of gene
expression, cell cycle, genome stability, and nuclear architecture. Over the past decade, a …

Nucleosome remodelers of the DDM1/Lsh family are required for DNA methylation of
transposable elements, but the reason for this is unknown. How DDM1 interacts with other …

Chromatin is a dynamic structure that must respond to myriad stimuli to regulate access to
DNA, and chemical modification of histones is a major means by which the cell modulates …

Over the last decades, there was increasing evidence for the presence of innate immune
memory in living organisms. In this review, we compare the innate immune memory of …

Cytosine methylation is involved in various biological processes such as silencing of
transposable elements (TEs) and imprinting. Multiple pathways regulate DNA methylation in …
