Key message Epigenetic regulation has been implicated in the control of multiple agronomic
traits in maize. Here, we review current advances in our understanding of epigenetic …

Studies on the genetics of Alzheimer's disease (AD) have revealed the complexity and
heterogeneity of the disease. All our studies have supported this evidence and contribute to …

Genetic diversity defines the evolutionary potential of a species, yet mounting evidence
suggests that epigenetic diversity could also contribute to adaptation. Elucidating the …

Allopolyploidization plays an important role in speciation, and some natural or synthetic
allopolyploid fishes have been extensively applied to aquaculture. Although genetic and …

High-throughput methylation sequencing enables genome-wide detection of differentially
methylated sites (DMS) or regions (DMR). Increasing evidence suggests that treatment …

In population genomics, genetic diversity measures play an important role in genome scans
for divergent sites. In population epigenomics, comparable tools are rare although the …

Plant tissue culture is an in vitro technique used to manipulate cells, tissues, or organs, and
plays an important role in genetic transformation. However, plants cultured in vitro often …

Cytosine methylation as a reversible chromatin mark has been investigated extensively for
its influence on gene silencing and the regulation of its dynamic association–disassociation …

Transgenerational epigenetics inheritance refers to the possibility to inherit epigenetic‐
based information acquired from previous generations. The design of experiments that can …

Heterosis is a prevalent phenomenon in nature and is widely found in animals and plants,
but the molecular mechanism of heterosis is still unclear. As the model insect of Lepidoptera …
