DNA methylation contributes to plant acclimation to naturally fluctuating light
New Phytologist, Volume 248, Issue 5, Page 2361-2375, December 2025.Summary Plants in the natural environment experience continuous dynamic changes in light intensity. Here, we exposed Arabidopsis thaliana plants to naturally fluctuating light (FL) regimes alongside traditional square light (SQ) regimes such as those often found in control environment growth chambers.

Evolutionary interplay between viruses and R‐loops
FEBS Letters, Volume 599, Issue 21, Page 3012-3028, November 2025.Viruses interact with specialized nucleic acid structures called R‐loops to influence host transcription, epigenetic states, latency, and immune evasion. This Perspective examines the roles of R‐loops in viral replication, integration, and silencing, and how viruses co‐opt or avoid these structures.

The use of retrotransposon-based molecular markers to analyze genetic diversity [PDF]
, 2011 Molecular markers play an essential role in all aspects of genetics, modern plant breeding, in human forensics, for map-based cloning of genes, ranging from the identification of genes responsible for desired traits to the management of backcrossing ...

Alzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 21, Issue 11, November 2025.Abstract INTRODUCTION Faulty DNA repair and epigenetic regulation contribute to neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease. Long‐read sequencing enables analysis of “dark regions” that are difficult to study via traditional sequencing methodologies.

A unique regulatory phase of DNA methylation in the early mammalian embryo [PDF]
, 2011 DNA methylation is highly dynamic during mammalian embryogenesis. It is broadly accepted that the paternal genome is actively depleted of 5-methylcytosine at fertilization, followed by passive loss that reaches a minimum at the blastocyst stage. However,
