Open AccessEpiTEome: Simultaneous detection of transposable element insertion sites and their DNA methylation levels
The genome-wide investigation of DNA methylation levels has been limited to reference transposable element positions. The methylation analysis of non-reference and mobile transposable elements has only recentl...

Open AccessFull-length autonomous transposable elements are preferentially targeted by expression-dependent forms of RNA-directed DNA methylation
Chromatin modifications such as DNA methylation are targeted to transposable elements by small RNAs in a process termed RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM). In plants, canonical RdDM functions through RNA poly...

Open AccessSmall-scale gene duplications played a major role in the recent evolution of wheat chromosome 3B
Bread wheat is not only an important crop, but its large (17 Gb), highly repetitive, and hexaploid genome makes it a good model to study the organization and evolution of complex genomes. Recently, we produced...

Open AccessOrganization and evolution of transposable elements along the bread wheat chromosome 3B
The 17 Gb bread wheat genome has massively expanded through the proliferation of transposable elements (TEs) and two recent rounds of polyploidization. The assembly of a 774 Mb reference sequence of wheat chro...
