The paper investigates sRNA precursors at the Arabidopsis self-incompatibility locus, showing they repress recessive alleles through non-canonical pathways and generate diverse sRNA molecules.

The paper identifies de novo translated regions in Arabidopsis by analyzing ribosome profiling data and genome comparisons, showing their role in novel gene emergence.

This study investigates the evolutionary history and functional specialization of miRNA genes in Arabidopsis halleri and A. lyrata, showing rapid birth-and-death dynamics and integration into core biological processes.

The paper identifies sources of new miRNA gene emergence in Arabidopsis halleri, showing transposable elements contribute more than protein-coding genes.
