Open AccessExtensive sequence duplication in Arabidopsis revealed by pseudo-heterozygosity
It is apparent that genomes harbor much structural variation that is largely undetected for technical reasons. Such variation can cause artifacts when short-read sequencing data are mapped to a reference genom...

The chromatin remodeler DDM1 prevents transposon mobility through deposition of histone variant H2A.W
Mobile transposable elements (TEs) not only participate in genome evolution but also threaten genome integrity. In healthy cells, TEs that encode all of the components that are necessary for their mobility are...

Open AccessDiversity and evolution of the repetitive genomic content in Cannabis sativa
The repetitive content of the genome, once considered to be “junk DNA”, is in fact an essential component of genomic architecture and evolution. In this study, we used the genomes of three varieties of Cannabis s...

Open AccessVerification of Arabidopsis stock collections using SNPmatch, a tool for genoty** high-plexed samples
Large-scale studies such as the Arabidopsis thaliana ‘1,001 Genomes’ Project require routine genoty** of stocks to avoid sample contamination. To genotype samples efficiently and economically, sequencing must b...

Open AccessNatural variation in stress response gene activity in the allopolyploid Arabidopsis suecica
Allopolyploids contain genomes composed of more than two complete sets of chromosomes that originate from at least two species. Allopolyploidy has been suggested as an important evolutionary mechanism that can...
