Heritable variation in gene expression is common within and between species. This
variation arises from mutations that alter the form or function of molecular gene regulatory …

Ancient duplication events and a high rate of retention of extant pairs of duplicate genes
have contributed to an abundance of duplicate genes in plant genomes. These duplicates …

Zoonomia is the largest comparative genomics resource for mammals produced to date. By
aligning genomes for 240 species, we identify bases that, when mutated, are likely to affect …

Uncovering the genetic and evolutionary basis of local adaptation is a major focus of
evolutionary biology. The recent development of cost-effective methods for obtaining high …

Heavy metal contamination of soil and water causing toxicity/stress has become one
important constraint to crop productivity and quality. This situation has further worsened by …

Lactose intolerance related to primary or secondary lactase deficiency is characterized by
abdominal pain and distension, borborygmi, flatus, and diarrhea induced by lactose in dairy …

Plant specialized terpenoids are natural products that have no obvious role in growth and
development, but play many important functional roles to improve the plant's overall fitness …

Being sessile, plants are subjected to a diverse array of environmental stresses during their
life span. Exposure of plants to environmental stresses results in the generation of reactive …

To explore the mechanisms and evolution of cell-cycle control, we analyzed the position and
conservation of large numbers of phosphorylation sites for the cyclin-dependent kinase …

The control and coordination of eukaryotic gene expression rely on transcriptional and post-
transcriptional regulatory networks. Although progress has been made in mapping the …
