Somatic mobility of transposons is explosive and shaped by distinct integration biases in Arabidopsis thaliana

This study identifies 200,000 new transposable element insertions in Arabidopsis thaliana, revealing integration biases and adaptive potential of somatic transposition.

Entry and exit of Fragilariopsis cylindrus diatoms from the polar night: evidence for chromatin-mediated genome control

This study examines how the polar diatom Fragilariopsis cylindrus regulates its epigenome during the polar night, showing stable repression of transposable elements through H3K27me3 and DNA methylation.

Ultra-Sensitive Detection of Transposon Insertions Across Multiple Families by Transposable Element Display Sequencing

This paper introduces a method to detect transposable element insertions with high sensitivity and shows it can identify insertions at low frequencies in plant populations.

Simultaneous Profiling of Chromatin Accessibility and DNA Methylation in Complete Plant Genomes Using Long-Read Sequencing

This paper introduces SAM-seq, a long-read sequencing method to simultaneously profile chromatin accessibility and DNA methylation in plants, revealing epigenetic crosstalk and cellular heterogeneity.

Transposable element products, functions, and regulatory networks in Arabidopsis

The paper constructs a comprehensive atlas of transposable element transcripts and their encoded products in Arabidopsis thaliana, revealing their functional roles and regulatory networks.
