Fragmented landscapes of mobile transposable element families bolster the diversity of large-effect alleles in Arabidopsis

The paper identifies over 200 new mobile transposable element families in Arabidopsis thaliana using pangenomic analysis, showing they contribute to large-effect alleles despite being rare in most strains.

The 1001G+ project: A curated collection of Arabidopsis thaliana long-read genome assemblies to advance plant research

The paper curates and presents a collection of long-read genome assemblies for Arabidopsis thaliana accessions to enhance plant genome research.

Transposable elements are vectors of recurrent transgenerational epigenetic inheritance in nature

The paper shows that transposable elements can transmit epigenetic changes across generations in Arabidopsis thaliana, often near stress-responsive genes, and these changes can affect gene expression and be subject to selection.

Efficient detection of transposable element insertion polymorphisms between genomes using short-read sequencing data

The paper presents a bioinformatic framework for detecting transposable element insertion polymorphisms using short-read sequencing data, showing high specificity and sensitivity in Arabidopsis thaliana genomes.

Transposable element over-accumulation in autopolyploids results from relaxed purifying selection and provides variants for rapid local adaptation

The paper shows that TE over-accumulation in autopolyploids is due to relaxed purifying selection and that some TE variants near stress response genes may aid local adaptation.
