Evolutionary and functional genomics of DNA methylation in maize domestication and improvement

DNA methylation is a ubiquitous chromatin feature, present in 25% of cytosines in the maize genome, but variation and evolution of the methylation landscape during maize domestication remain largely unknown. H...

Population-level analysis reveals the widespread occurrence and phenotypic consequence of DNA methylation variation not tagged by genetic variation in maize

DNA methylation can provide a source of heritable information that is sometimes entirely uncoupled from genetic variation. However, the extent of this uncoupling and the roles of DNA methylation in sha** div...

Genome-wide nucleotide patterns and potential mechanisms of genome divergence following domestication in maize and soybean

Plant domestication provides a unique model to study genome evolution. Many studies have been conducted to examine genes, genetic diversity, genome structure, and epigenome changes associated with domesticatio...

The maize W22 genome provides a foundation for functional genomics and transposon biology

The maize W22 inbred has served as a platform for maize genetics since the mid twentieth century. To streamline maize genome analyses, we have sequenced and de novo assembled a W22 reference genome using short...

Correction to: Genome-wide discovery and characterization of maize long non-coding RNAs

The original version [1] of this article unfortunately contained a mistake. The additive effects of the eQTLs of lncRNAs were flipped, meaning that the base allele in the contrast to derive the additive effect...

The repetitive landscape of the 5100 Mbp barley genome

While transposable elements (TEs) comprise the bulk of plant genomic DNA, how they contribute to genome structure and organization is still poorly understood. Especially in large genomes where TEs make the maj...

Genome-wide map** of transcriptional enhancer candidates using DNA and chromatin features in maize

While most cells in multicellular organisms carry the same genetic information, in each cell type only a subset of genes is being transcribed. Such differentiation in gene expression depends, for a large part,...
