A major goal of evolutionary genetics is to understand the genetic processes that give rise to
phenotypic diversity in multicellular organisms. Alternative splicing generates multiple …

Regulation of gene expression plays a central role in adaptive divergence and evolution.
Although the role of gene regulation in microevolutionary processes is gaining wide …

Background Accurate and comprehensive annotation of transcript sequences is essential for
transcript quantification and differential gene and transcript expression analysis. Single …

Serine/threonine protein phosphatase 2C (PP2C) dephosphorylates proteins and plays
crucial roles in plant growth, development, and stress response. In this study, we …

Although splicing occurs largely co-transcriptionally, the order by which introns are removed
does not necessarily follow the order in which they are transcribed. Whereas several …

The activities of RNA polymerases shape the epigenetic landscape of genomes with
profound consequences for genome integrity and gene expression. A fundamental event …

Plant mitochondria represent the largest group of respiring organelles on the planet. Plant
mitochondrial messenger RNAs (mRNAs) lack Shine-Dalgarno-like ribosome-binding sites …

Retinal photoreceptors have a distinct transcriptomic profile compared to other neuronal
subtypes, likely reflecting their unique cellular morphology and function in the detection of …

Synthetic hexaploid wheat (SHW) lines are created as pre-breeding germplasm to diversify
the D subgenome of hexaploid wheat and capitalize upon the untapped genetic diversity of …

Over the last decade, RNA-seq has produced a massive amount of plant transcriptomic
sequencing data deposited in public databases. Reanalysis of these public datasets can …
