Abstract Information and function of a genome are not only decorated with epigenetic marks
in the linear DNA sequence but also in their non-random spatial organization in the nucleus …

The reiterative organogenesis that drives plant growth relies on the constant production of
new cells, which remain encased by interconnected cell walls. For these reasons, plant …

A study of the plant Arabidopsis thaliana detected lower mutation rates in genomic regions
where mutations are more likely to be deleterious, challenging the principle that …

Unstable transcripts have emerged as markers of active enhancers in vertebrates and
shown to be involved in many cellular processes and medical disorders. However, their …

The genome of a eukaryotic organism is comprised of a supra-molecular complex of
chromatin fibers and intricately folded three-dimensional (3D) structures. Chromosomal …

Key message Chromatin state, and dynamic loading of pro-crossover protein HEI10 at
recombination intermediates shape meiotic chromosome patterning in plants. Abstract …

Variation in the rates and characteristics of germline and somatic mutations across the
genome of an organism is informative about DNA damage and repair processes and can …

The genome is the most functional part of a cell, and genomic contents are organized in a
compact three-dimensional (3D) structure. The genome contains millions of nucleotide …

Genomic architecture facilitates chromosome recognition, pairing, and recombination.
Telomeres and subtelomeres play an important role at the beginning of meiosis in specific …

methyl cytosine is widespread in plant genomes in both CG and non-CG contexts. During
replication, hemi-methylation on parental DNA strands guides symmetric CG methylation on …
