Transposon-induced inversions activate gene expression in Maize pericarp

Sharu Paul Sharma, Tao Zuo, Thomas Peterson

The paper identifies transposon-induced chromosomal inversions that activate p2 gene expression in maize pericarp, leading to red kernel color.

Ectopic expression of a maize gene is induced by Composite Insertions generated by Alternative Transposition

Weijia Su, Tao Zuo, Thomas Peterson

This study shows that Ac/fAc transposable elements can generate Composite Insertions that activate gene expression by mobilizing enhancer elements from nearby genes.

siRNA-mediated de novo silencing of Ac/Ds transposons is initiated by alternative transposition in maize

Dafang Wang, Peifen Zhang, Tao Zuo, Damon R. Lisch, Meixia Zhao, Thomas Peterson

The paper shows that alternative transposition generates inverted duplications that produce siRNAs, leading to heritable silencing of maize Ac/Ds transposons.
