  1. ...reduce the impact of such positional flexibility.An intriguing feature of the DNA methylation patterns in active human centromeres is a hypomethylated region, known as the centromeric dip region, within a hypermethylated HOR that is occupied by CENPA (Gershman et al. 2022). The hypomethylated regions...

  2. ...CHH islands: de novo DNA methylation in near-gene chromatin regulation in maize Jonathan I. Gent 1 , Nathanael A. Ellis 1 , Lin Guo 1 , Alex E. Harkess 1 , Yingyin Yao 1 , Xiaoyu Zhang 1 and R. Kelly Dawe 1 , 2 , 3...
  3. ...is a common DNA modification among eukaryotes, typically in the form of cytosine methylated on carbon-5 (5-methylcytosine, 5mC). Saccharomyces cerevisiae has no 5mC, and in other fungi methylation is targeted to the scarce repeated DNA ( Selker 1990 ; Rossignol and Faugeron 1994 ). The levels and patterns...
  4. .... The twenty-third copy of the gene family is also located on chromosome 4S at a site ∼20 cM closer to the centromere and appears to be the wild-type allele of the floury-2 ( fl2 ) mutation. On the basis of an analysis of maize cDNA databases, only seven of these genes appear to be expressed including the fl2...
  5. ...and epigenetic mechanisms are well characterized by molecular and genetic means. Furthermore, the two species display similar size and TE content (Fig. 1A).View larger version: In this window In a new window Figure 1. Spirodela polyrhiza sRNA and DNA methylation patterns. (A) Genome size, number, and genomic...
  6. ..., which represent 30% of the human and 50% of the maize ( SanMiguel et al. 1996 ). To understand the relation of structure and repetitive DNAs to expansion/contraction, analysis of large contiguous genomic sequences is essential. In maize, a plant with a large , “diagnostic sequencing” was taken to study...
  7. .... Whole- epigenomic profiling of R. irregularis provides direct evidence of DNA methylation and small RNA production occurring at TE loci. Our results support a model in which TE activity shapes the , while DNA methylation and small RNA–mediated silencing keep their overproliferation in check. We propose...
  8. .... albicanswhen a native centromere was deleted. However, the process of site selection for CENPA deposition on native or neocentromeres in the absence of defined DNA sequences remains elusive. By systematic deletion of CENPA chromatin-containing regions of variable length of different chromosomes, followed...
  9. ...on 3D organization, gene expression, and cytosine methylation. We found that duplicated genes often accumulate more transcripts. Among them, several are involved in plant–pathogen response, which could explain why the 20rDNA line is hyper-resistant to both bacterial and nematode infections. Finally, we...
  10. ...interesting patterns related to recombination. Cis/total ratios quantify the fraction of contacts within versus between chromosomes. Low cis/total ratios are associated with increased spatial accessibility (not to be confused with DNA accessibility associated with nucleosome occupancy) (Kalhor et al. 2012...
