[PDF][PDF] Gene body methylation in plants: mechanisms, functions, and important implications for understanding evolutionary processes
Gene body methylation (gbM) is an epigenetic mark where gene exons are methylated in
the CG context only, as opposed to CHG and CHH contexts (where H stands for A, C, or T) …

The epigenetic control of the transposable element life cycle in plant genomes and beyond
Within the life cycle of a living organism, another life cycle exists for the selfish genome
inhabitants, which are called transposable elements (TEs). These mobile sequences invade …

Transposable elements: major players in shaping genomic and evolutionary patterns
N Colonna Romano, L Fanti - Cells, 2022 - mdpi.com
Transposable elements (TEs) are ubiquitous genetic elements, able to jump from one
location of the genome to another, in all organisms. For this reason, on the one hand, TEs …
