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

Repetitive DNA sequences playing critical roles in driving evolution, inducing variation, and
regulating gene expression. In this review, we summarized the definition, arrangement, and …

RepeatExplorer2 is a novel version of a computational pipeline that uses graph-based
clustering of next-generation sequencing reads for characterization of repetitive DNA in …

Increasing the proportion of locally produced plant protein in currently meat-rich diets could
substantially reduce greenhouse gas emissions and loss of biodiversity. However, plant …

The centromere represents a single region in most eukaryotic chromosomes. However,
several plant and animal lineages assemble holocentromeres along the entire chromosome …

Dear Editor, Transposable elements (TEs) constitute the largest portion of repetitive
sequences in many eukaryotic genomes, with long terminal repeat retrotransposons (LTR …

Sturgeons seem to be frozen in time. The archaic characteristics of this ancient fish lineage
place it in a key phylogenetic position at the base of the~ 30,000 modern teleost fish …

Background In the study of transposable elements (TEs), the generation of a high
confidence set of consensus sequences that represent the diversity of TEs found in a given …

Common buckwheat, Fagopyrum esculentum, is an orphan crop domesticated in southwest
China that exhibits heterostylous self-incompatibility. Here we present chromosome-scale …

It is only recently, with the advent of long-read sequencing technologies, that we are
beginning to uncover previously uncharted regions of complex and inherently recursive …
