Genome‐wide and gene‐specific DNA methylation across developmental stages in Pogonomyrmex californicus: A socially polymorphic ant

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Comparison between developmental stages (larvae, pupae, worker) in Pogonomyrmex californicus revealed significant stage‐specific differences in Gene Body Methylated frequencies. Methylation sites were highly correlated between WGBS and ONT in P. californicus Genome‐wide methylation was low (~3%) and highly clustered within gene bodies (GBM), especially

Transposon variants and their effects on gene expression in arabidopsis [PDF]

, 2013
Transposable elements (TEs) make up the majority of many plant genomes. Their transcription and transposition is controlled through siRNAs and epigenetic marks including DNA methylation.

Comprehensive DNA Methylation Analysis of Retrotransposons in Male Germ Cells

Cell Reports, 2015
De novo DNA methylation of retrotransposons is critical for silencing. Here, we use DNA methylation analysis to examine retrotransposons in mouse male germ cells.

Transposable Elements and Genome Size Variations in Plants [PDF]

Genomics & Informatics, 2014
Although the number of protein-coding genes is not highly variable between plant taxa, the DNA content in their genomes is highly variable, by as much as 2,056-fold from a 1C amount of 0.0648 pg to 132.5 pg.

Multi‐omics analyses shed lights on the evolution and fruit development of Chinese raspberries (Rubus spp.)

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
High‐quality genomes of four wild raspberry species, analysis of their genetic relationships, identification of centromeres as markers for tracing their hybrid origins, exploration of fruit quality regulation, and discovery of a gene blocking anthocyanin transport and thus causing yellow fruits provides valuable resources for raspberry breeding ...

Simulation-based estimation of branching models for LTR retrotransposons [PDF]

Bioinformatics, 2016
Abstract Motivation LTR retrotransposons are mobile elements that are able, like retroviruses, to copy and move inside eukaryotic genomes. In the present work, we propose a branching model for studying the propagation of LTR retrotransposons in these genomes.

Hagfish genome reveals parallel evolution of 7SL RNA-derived SINEs

Mobile DNA, 2020
Background Short interspersed elements (SINEs) are ubiquitous components of eukaryotic genomes. SINEs are composite transposable elements that are mobilized by non-long terminal repeat (non-LTR) retrotransposons, also called long interspersed elements ...

Near‐complete genome assembly of a transformation‐efficient elite inbred line LH244 and its comparison with B73

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Analysis of a near‐complete assembly of the genome of the highly transformable maize inbred line LH244 revealed its high genetic similarity to B73 and will serve as a much‐needed resource for functional genomics and genome editing of maize. ABSTRACT The highly transformable maize inbred line LH244 represents an attractive model for gene discovery and ...

Mechanistic and evolutionary questions about epigenetic conflicts between transposable elements and their plant hosts [PDF]

, 2016
Transposable elements (TEs) constitute the majority of plant genomes, but most are epigenetically inactivated by their host. Research over the last decade has elucidated many of the molecular components that are required for TE silencing.

Exonization of the LTR transposable elements in human genome

BMC Genomics, 2007
Background Retrotransposons have been shown to contribute to evolution of both structure and regulation of protein coding genes. It has been postulated that the primary mechanism by which retrotransposons contribute to structural gene evolution is ...
