Growing evidence shows that epigenetic mechanisms contribute to complex traits, with
implications across many fields of biology. In plant ecology, recent studies have attempted to …

Epigenetic mechanisms are highly dynamic events that modulate gene expression. As more
accurate and powerful tools for epigenetic analysis become available for application in a …

Anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) and advanced differentiated thyroid cancers (DTCs) show
fatal outcomes, unlike DTCs. Here, we demonstrate mutational landscape of 27 ATCs and …

There is a lack of consensus on how next-generation sequence (NGS) data should be
considered for phylogenetic and phylogeographic estimates, with some studies excluding …

There is now mounting evidence that heritable variation in ecologically relevant traits can be
generated through a suite of epigenetic mechanisms, even in the absence of genetic …

Given the explosive development of new molecular marker techniques over the last decade,
newcomers and experts alike in the field of DNA fingerprinting will find an easy-to-follow …

DNA methylation is known to play an important role in the regulation of gene expression in
eukaryotes. In this study, we assessed the extent and pattern of cytosine methylation in the …

Background Salinity is a major environmental factor limiting productivity of crop plants
including rice in which wide range of natural variability exists. Although recent evidences …

Even before the publication of Darwin's Origin of Species, the perception of evolutionary
change has been a tree-like pattern of diversification-with divergent branches spreading …

To study the consequences of hybridization and genome duplication on polyploid genome
evolution and adaptation, we used independently formed hybrids (Spartina× townsendii and …
