Epigenome and interactome profiling uncovers principles of distal regulation in the barley genome

The paper annotates CREs in the barley genome using epigenetic profiling and HiChIP, identifying 77,000 CRE candidates and revealing promoter-promoter interactions.

DANTE and DANTE_LTR: Lineage-centric annotation pipelines for long terminal repeat retrotransposons in plant genomes

The paper introduces DANTE and DANTE_LTR pipelines for annotating LTR retrotransposons in plant genomes, showing improved accuracy in identifying intact elements compared to existing methods.

Assembly of the 81.6 Mb centromere of pea chromosome 6 elucidates the structure and evolution of metapolycentric chromosomes

The paper assembles and analyzes the 81.6 Mb centromere of pea chromosome 6, revealing its structure and evolutionary mechanisms in metapolycentric chromosomes.

Disruption of the standard kinetochore in holocentric Cuscuta species

This study shows that holocentric Cuscuta species have lost the standard kinetochore and SAC, with gene loss and protein mislocalization observed.

Impact of parasitic lifestyle and different types of centromere organization on chromosome and genome evolution in the plant genus Cuscuta

The paper examines genome size variation and centromere organization in Cuscuta species, finding that holocentric chromosomes are associated with reduced genome size and changes in repetitive DNA and epigenetic marks.

Genome-wide characterization of satellite DNA arrays in a complex plant genome using nanopore reads

The paper develops an assembly-free method using nanopore reads to characterize satellite DNA arrays in Lathyrus sativus, revealing differences in their organization and association with LTR-retrotransposons.

Nondisjunction and unequal spindle organization accompany the drive of Aegilops speltoides B chromosomes

The paper investigates the mechanism of B chromosome drive in Aegilops speltoides, identifying nondisjunction and asymmetric spindles as key factors in their accumulation.
