Researchers have created a new way to reconstruct the evolutionary history of complex plant genomes by analyzing genetic traces left by transposable elements. The technique revealed that modern ...

The genome contained 35.52% of repeats, of which Class I transposable element (TE) repeats comprised of 30% and Class II TE repeats were 1.71% (TEs reviewed in, e.g. Lerat 17). Altogether 32,721 genes ...

An initial genome-wide analysis sheds light on Faroese ancestry and recent selection, and lays a foundation for understanding the genetics behind health and disease within this population.

ATAC-seq: a technique used to assess chromatin accessibility by using Tn5 transposase to insert sequencing adaptors into open chromatin regions, which are then sequenced to map these accessible sites.

Polyploid genomes, formed through repeated whole-genome duplication and hybridization, underpin the evolution of many important crops, yet their internal structure often remains unresolved when ...

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine will establish an ad hoc committee to conduct a study to review and assess existing methodologies, benefits, and challenges in the use of ...

Hand weeding of fields spurred an interloper to evolve a rice-like appearance, researchers conclude. Genomics Reveals How Humans Can Inadvertently Drive Plant Mimicry Genomics Reveals How Humans Can ...

, June 19 -- Scientists have developed a new genetic analysis method that uses "time stamps" hidden in DNA to trace the complex origins of the cultivated strawberry, revealing a far more complicated ...
