Mitochondria play key roles in activating apoptosis in mammalian cells. Bcl-2 family
members regulate the release of proteins from the space between the mitochondrial inner …

DNA methylation is an epigenetic modification required for transposable element (TE)
silencing, genome stability, and genomic imprinting. Although DNA methylation has been …

The relative ease, speed, and biological scope of clustered regularly interspaced short
palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated Protein9 (Cas9)-based reagents for …

Epigenetic inheritance is more widespread in plants than in mammals, in part because
mammals erase epigenetic information by germline reprogramming. We sequenced the …

DNA methylation is an epigenetic modification of the genome involved in the regulation of
gene expression and modulation of chromatin structure. Plant genomes are widely …

Cytosine methylation, a common form of DNA modification that antagonizes transcription, is
found at transposons and repeats in vertebrates, plants and fungi. Here we have mapped …

Active DNA demethylation is involved in many vital developmental and physiological
processes of plants and animals. Recent genetic and biochemical studies in Arabidopsis …

Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic phenomenon leading to parentally biased gene
expression. Throughout the years, extensive efforts have been made to characterize the …

Epigenetic variation is likely to contribute to the phenotypic plasticity and adaptative capacity
of plant species, and may be especially important for long‐lived organisms with complex life …

Parent-of-origin-specific (imprinted) gene expression is regulated in Arabidopsis thaliana
endosperm by cytosine demethylation of the maternal genome mediated by the DNA …
