Transposable element (TE) amplification has been recognized as a driving force mediating
genome size expansion and evolution, but the consequences for shaping 3D genomic …

The formation of polyploids significantly increases the complexity of transcriptional
regulation, which is expected to be reflected in sophisticated higher-order chromatin …

Background Despite remarkable advances in our knowledge of epigenetically mediated
transcriptional programming of cell differentiation in plants, little is known about chromatin …

Background Genetically anchored physical maps of large eukaryotic genomes have proven
useful both for their intrinsic merit and as an adjunct to genome sequencing. Cultivated …

Phenotypic diversity and evolutionary innovation ultimately trace to variation in genomic
sequence and rewiring of regulatory networks. Here, we constructed a pan-genome of the …

Background SNPs are the most abundant polymorphism type, and have been explored in
many crop genomic studies, including rice and maize. SNP discovery in allotetraploid cotton …

Genome sizes in plants vary over several orders of magnitude, reflecting a combination of
differentially acting local and global forces such as biases in indel accumulation and …

Genomes of many eukaryotic species have a defined three-dimensional architecture critical
for cellular processes. They are partitioned into topologically associated domains (TADs) …

Structural variations (SVs) have long been described as being involved in the origin,
adaption, and domestication of species. However, the underlying genetic and genomic …

Allopolyploidization, resulting in divergent genomes in the same cell, is believed to trigger a
“genome shock”, leading to broad genetic and epigenetic changes. However, little is …
