The stochastic nature of genome organization and function.
Genomes have complex three-dimensional structures. High-resolution population-based biochemical studies over the last decade have painted a mostly static picture of the genome characterized by universal organizational features, such as chromatin domains ...

Environmental Enrichment Induces Epigenomic and Genome Organization Changes Relevant for Cognition
In early development, the environment triggers mnemonic epigenomic programs resulting in memory and learning experiences to confer cognitive phenotypes into adulthood. To uncover how environmental stimulation impacts the epigenome and genome organization,

Enhanced FnCas12a-Mediated Targeted Mutagenesis Using crRNA With Altered Target Length in Rice
The CRISPR/Cas12a (Cpf1) system utilizes a thymidine-rich protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) and generates DNA ends with a 5′ overhang. These properties differ from those of CRISPR/Cas9, making Cas12a an attractive alternative in the CRISPR toolbox ...

The CACTA transposon Bot1 played a major role in Brassica genome divergence and gene proliferation [PDF]
We isolated and characterized a Brassica C genome-specific CACTA element, which was designated Bot1 (Brassica oleracea transposon 1). After analysing phylogenetic relationships, copy numbers and sequence similarity of Bot1 and Bot1 analogues in B ...

Histone H3 lysine 9 dimethylation (H3K9me2) is a highly conserved silencing epigenetic mark. Chromatin marked with H3K9me2 forms large domains in mammalian cells and overlaps well with lamina-associated domains and the B compartment defined by Hi-C ...

Genomic organization of microRNAs [PDF]
AbstractmicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small (∼22 nt) noncoding RNAs that have been shown to regulate gene expression post‐transcriptionally. They function by pairing with the 3′ UTR of target mRNAs and repressing translation or by targeting the mRNA for degradation.

Generation of genetic constructs that simultaneously express several shRNAs
RNAi has potential as an antiviral gene therapy strategy. Cassette constructs simultaneously expressing several siRNAs could prove to be the most efficient technique in developing gene therapy approaches for highly mutable viruses such as HIV-1.

Chromatin conformation regulates the coordination between DNA replication and transcription
The maintenance of chromatin integrity during replication is critical for cell viability. Here the authors study how dividing cells respond to alterations in chromatin structure and find that these elicit a range of responses in the dynamics of DNA ...

Complete Genome Sequence of Diaphorina citri-associated C virus, a Novel Putative RNA Virus of the Asian Citrus Psyllid, Diaphorina citri. [PDF]
We present here the complete nucleotide sequence and genome organization of a novel putative RNA virus identified in field populations of the Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri, through sequencing of the transcriptome followed by reverse ...

MGERT: a pipeline to retrieve coding sequences of mobile genetic elements from genome assemblies
Background Genomes of eukaryotes are inhabited by myriads of mobile genetic elements (MGEs) – transposons and retrotransposons - which play a great role in genome plasticity and evolution.
