regulation of gene expression and genome stability. Chemical modification of DNA base …

As sessile organisms, plants have evolved sophisticated ways to constantly gauge and
adapt to changing environmental conditions including extremes that may be harmful to their …

INTRODUCTION Epigenetic modifications to chromatin, such as the methylation of DNA
cytosines, carry regulatory information across the generations in plants and animals …

Mobile transposable elements (TEs) not only participate in genome evolution but also
threaten genome integrity. In healthy cells, TEs that encode all of the components that are …

Highlights•Unlike RNA decay, RNAi results in continued rounds of post-transcriptional
silencing.•Pathways exist for both uncleaved and small RNA-sliced transcripts to enter …

DNA methylation is a major epigenetic modification found across species and has a
profound impact on many biological processes. However, its influence on chromatin …

Epigenetics involves the heritable changes in patterns of gene expression determined by
developmental and abiotic stresses, ie, drought, cold, salinity, trace metals, and heat. Gene …

Mammalian brains feature exceptionally high levels of non-CpG DNA methylation alongside
the canonical form of CpG methylation. Non-CpG methylation plays a critical regulatory role …

Plant development processes are regulated by epigenetic alterations that shape nuclear
structure, gene expression, and phenotypic plasticity; these alterations can provide the plant …

During evolution successful allopolyploids must overcome 'genome shock'between
hybridizing species but the underlying process remains elusive. Here, we report concerted …
